I had and 486 at the time with 8MB and I can assure you that X was the *only* process running when I tried to use it (ie it used all memory and some swap and the machine was basically dieing for the swapping) When I had money to go 12MB X became slightly usable with some Xterms, Xeyes and friends. Nothing fancy tho or swapping would start killing your machine again. However 32MB of ram will run X with a minimal Window Manager and apps really well, especially at lower resolutions. > An X solution is not impossible.
