> Having a *HEADLESS* server doesn't equate to not having X installed. Then we just have to clarify terms. :-) He used the term "headless", and I've always heard the term used to apply to systems without X installed, e.g., "A headless server is one running in a headless Squeak; that is, a Squeak that does not have a connection to an X server." [http://pbl.cc.gatech.edu/myswiki/275 "Zinc can be run in a simple headless server mode (i.e. without a graphical user interface). This allows you to run a Zinc server on a computer that does not have a graphical display - a typical UNIX server for example." [http://zinc.microwavepizza.co.uk/help/headless.html] etc. In any event, the important context is his, so we should find out what he meant. :-) > In fact to run stuff, such as Java AWT rendering on *nix you must have > some kind of X-window display buffer, maybe VFB. I think that has changed. There were some notes about that recently. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
