[ale] Cool X setups

[Michael David Ivey]

Ok, I have a really silly question.  See, a while back I got to play with
a little Indy for a bit, and the guy who ran it had a window hooked up to
the camera, and it looked, well......like a _real_ computer.  And then, I
saw 'Twister', and there was this great SGI laptop that was just so damn
cool....so, what I want, is I want _my_ computer to look like that.

Ok, sure, what difference does _look_ make?  I mean really, it's all
about the applications....but I still like mwm better than fvwm with
MWMDecoration.

So, my question(s) are:

1)  Does anyone know what it would take (hardware and software) to get a
camera hooked up in an Xwindow?  Or maybe some live video from NASA?  Or
some cool wather data?  =)

2)  Is there a way to get fvwm to REALLY look like mwm?   mwm is such a 
hog, but I'm hooked on the look.  

3)  Any thing else I can do to make my cute little Linux box look more 
professional?  More like a grown-up unix?

Thanks for listening.
