Checked-in git. The word "default" means that it is a minimum file and contains the "default" section with the URLs which all README contains for consistency. > also, I wonder if we should just link to wikipedia's articles to avoid > having to actually describe what the X server is :) > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server should answer any questions the first > two paragraphs leave open. This was the first place I looked for a short, focused description of the X server. I was not satisfied with it, personal opinion. However, the link is a great addition. I will add and resubmit. I'd like to get the file in, it's the third post. It can be improved thereafter. Thanks for the review. > Cheers, > Peter
