In software, as in life, clients issue requests and commands, and servers respond. In this case, the software that is issuing the request (to draw a window or display some text) is running on the Linux box. That software is the X client. The software that responds (by displaying a window or some text) is running on the box sitting in front of you. That software is the X server. Tony - -- Anthony E.
