Description :
If you want to install the X Window System (TM) on your machine,
you\'ll need to install XFree86.
The X Window System provides the base technology for developing
graphical user interfaces. Simply stated, X draws the elements of the
GUI on the user\'s screen and builds methods for sending user
interactions back to the application. X also supports remote
application deployment--running an application on another computer
while viewing the input/output on your machine. X is a powerful
environment which supports many different applications, such as games,
programming tools, graphics programs, text editors, etc. XFree86 is
the version of X which runs on Linux, as well as other platforms.
This package contains the basic fonts, programs and documentation for
an X workstation. However, this package doesn\'t provide the program
which you will need to drive your video hardware. To control your
video card, you\'ll need the particular X server package which
corresponds to your computer\'s video card.
