X11 is commonly referring to the protocol suite. X11R6 is the current |
| 10 |
version, AFAIK. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
XFree86 and Xorg are Implementations of this protocol consisting of |
| 13 |
many software items of which the most prominent one is the X server. |
| 14 |
Xorg is forked from XFree86's codebase. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
There are other X Server implementations available, e.g. the |
| 17 |
tinyX-Server (it's integrated the XFree Codebase), which is now known |
| 18 |
as the kdrive-Framework based XServer |

| 21 |
There are X Servers for Windows as well. Most of them are commercial |
| 22 |
but cygwin has an implementation which also started in the XFree |
| 23 |
codebase and now changed to use the Xorg codebase. |

has a lot of information, too. |
