- As the name implies, the group is for all Intel based U*ix-like OS's
- that run X-windows, including XFree86. This is what the RFD and CFV
- said and I'll believe them.
-
- The idea is that people with questions and problems with X have much
- in common no matter what specific OS they are running. It should also
- help thin out the traffic in comp.os.linux and comp.unix.bsd.
-
- This is a *good thing*. :)
-
- In addition, those interested in discussion of enhancements and general
- directions for XFree86 could use a group to talk, I suspect.
