Matt,
Outside of Apple Inc, most of the Unix world associates the term 'X'
in the context of terminal/display discussions with the X-11 windowing
system.

See: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/jan/07x11.html

So on OS-X you can do X-11 ;)

Check out the "ssh" man page to find out why this is relevant.
