W window system is a bit like X (on MiNT it's smaller&faster than X),
except that the programs that come with W and W toolkit, are all there
are for it.

If you're not a programmer, you could forget it.  If you want
to program remotely executable programs (on other machine) that
display their stuff on your machine, then you could use W.
It's easier to program than GEM and more portable.
