Hi all! I'm looking for a way to conceptualize all this info about XonX, XDarwin, and XWindows into my already addled mind. Is there a mailing list for people like me who want clear, basic discussion of what XWindows is, what it looks like on Mac OSX and how to set it all up. I understand that fink is just an installer program, correct?
Here's what I'd like to do: 1) Start Terminal to use it to interact with Darwin (XDarwin?). Run programs with windows and GUI, like in Linux. I'm having problems getting things up and running right now. I've installed several packages, including OroborOSX and Gnome stuff and the like. I'm getting errors when I type startx into Terminal. I can run XDarwin.app, and I can run OroborOSX. What I'm not sure about is what I'm doing when I run these things. Am I interacting with one thing, just with different "shells?" Or are each of these programs something different? See how lost I am? Thanks in advance for any pointers to basic info. I've got books on UNIX, so I don't want to start there.
