I think I will stick to my Linux machine for the forseeable future, but
also want a stable and modern enough emacs to run the packages I use
most, namely auctex, gnus and org mode.
I would need, to get the hyper-super modifier business resolved. The
emacsformacox seems to take care of that, the fink compiled one on the
other hand does not (without digging into Xmodmap).

Ok, I will give this a try, I don't think I will need the remote X
display stuff for the moment, but thanks for pointing that out to me.
