There is one free Xserver (they're called servers for some > reason although technicaly they act like a client) They are called servers because they act like servers. An X server listens for TCP connections on a particular port (6000 + <display number>). A client (i.e. an X program) connects to an X server, and sends it commands, e.g. to create windows, to draw stuff in the windows, and to request that particular events (key presses, mouse movement etc) are reported to it. The fundamental distinction between a client and a server is that a client initiates connections whilst a server waits for other programs to connect to it. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
