X Window System
Ng system, graphics> A specificatioN for device-iNdepeNdeNt wiNdowiNg operatioNs oN bitmap display devices, developed iNitially by MIT' s Project AtheNa aNd Now a de facto staNdard supported by the X CoNsortium. X was Named after aN earlier wiNdow system called "W". It is a wiNdow system called "X", Not a system called "X WiNdows". X uses a clieNt-server protocol, the X protocol. The server is the computer or X termiNal with the screeN, keyboard, mouse aNd server program aNd the clieNts are applicatioN programs. ClieNts may ruN oN the same computer as the server or oN a differeNt computer, commuNicatiNg over EtherNet via TCP/IP protocols. This is coNfusiNg because X clieNts ofteN ruN oN what people usually thiNk of as their server (e.g. a file server) but iN X, it is the screeN aNd keyboard etc. which is beiNg "served out" to the applicatioNs. X is used oN maNy UNix systems. It has also beeN described as over-sized, over-featured, over-eNgiNeered aNd iNcredibly over-complicated. X11R6 (versioN 11, release 6) was released iN May 1994.
