- I was wondering what the differences were between the X11 distribution
- that I see on banjo and X386 everyone is talking about. I am about to
- install X (I just got gcc running) and was wondering which one to get.
-
- the X11 on banjo *is* X386. X386 is the name that was given to the
- i386 version of the X server from MIT. The server to X11 is very
- system dependent, so the X11 distribution comes with several servers.
- Looking in the directory server/ddx of the stock distribution, there
- are the following subdirectories: cfb, dec, ibm, macII, mfb, mi, mips,
- omron, snf, sun, tek, x386
-
- So X386 (X11 on banjo) is what you should get.
