Setzer, II" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Win95 X-Window Type Thing-a-MaJig Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Can someone tell me exactly what is startX and what a X-Windows SERVER is?? I know that X-Windows is a GUI that allows you to run applications by using happy icons and what not. So, what is all of this other stuff? Also, the Redhat 5.1 version of Linux came with a X-Windows thing that was pretty nice.. does anyone know which it is, and if so, can I run it on fBSD? And lastly, I'm a win95 person at heart, or well, that is what I've used for a REALLY long time... is there a X-Windows program that looks like win95, ie.. start menu, shortcuts, etc..? It doesn't have to be exact, just similar. Thanks in advanced.. -Douglas L.
