With all the alternatives in Linux, are there alternatives to X itself? Shouldn't there be more than one graphics servers available to Linux?

In that context the comment is dead on and correct. OS X, at this time, runs an interface that is proprietary and not based on X. The fact that Panther will be able to run an X system on top of that interface (and at this time it is dog slow, noting it is not shipping and has lots of debug code still in it) of that one can run XFree86 on it does not alter the fact that the current OS X system has nothing to do with X. - rick warner -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
