For the average user, not much, granted: GIMP (which can only be compared to Photoshop the way, say a can of Play-DOH in the hands of a three-year-old can be compared to a block of Carrara marble in the hands of a Michaelangelo), Open Office, the aforementioned Gnome apps and such. Frankly, for the majority of X-apps that come with Linux distros, for example, there are better native apps available. In the tech world, though, there's a huge demand for this...there are lots of specialized Xwindows applications in use on physics, engineering, the life sciences, etc. This makes life a lot easier for people who used to have to do their data analysis and paper writing on two different machines. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
