 X WINDOW SYSTEM Definition
We define X WINDOW SYSTEM |
X WINDOW SYSTEM - A consortium-developed, open-standard, device-independent GUI system that is most commonly found on UNIX and Linux operating systems and invoked with the "startx" command. The X Window System was initially developed in 1984 at MIT and called Project Athena. In 1986 the X Consortium was formed to further the development of the GUI. The torch was passed to the Open Group in 1997, and now resides at x.org on the Web. The GUI system works by running an X Server on the client machine that manages the windows, or X Clients. The X Window System uses the client/server architecture in and of itself. |
