I proposed the above catagories, and I said that it wasn't "set in concrete" 8-) The key here is the catagory (what ever it is) must be application oriented. IMHO, X windows are not an application, rather X windows are an extension to the OS and as such, you run X windows applications in that extension. Keep in mind that I am only referring to Xbase, Xlib, Xfonts, & Xserver as Xwindows - not XQuake, or XV, or any other application which would require the basic Xwindows. Try to think in terms of the DOS user who installs DOS and then adds his/her favorite application(s) (be it word processing, or anti-virus utility, or printing program for making labels, etc. etc.) -- -= Sent by Debian 1.2 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
