Apple offer an X-Windows* server based on XFree86, which can be run at the same time as Quartz. Solaris Sun's X server Unix X.Org's reference X server (see http://www.x.org/) All, or almost all, other unix vendors ship an X-Windows* server; almost all of these are based on or derived from the MIT code, many still contribute code back to the others. WeirdX http://www.jcraft.com/weirdx/ is an implementation of X-Windows which is written in Java, and thus presumably *not* based on the MIT code. * Sorry for not using the approved name "The X Window System" at every opportunity. Going back in history: NeXT machines had a graphics server based on Display PostScript, SunOS Sun machines used a graphics system called first SunTools and then SunView. Before Linux there was a free multiplatform OS with many unix characteristics called Plan-9, with a graphics system called something like "five-and-a-half". -- Dr. Andrew C.
