1. What is XFree86
XFree86 is a port of X11R6.5.1 that supports several versions of Unix.
It is derived from X386 1.2 which was the X server distributed with X11R5.
This release consists of many new features and performance improvements as well
as many bug fixes.
The release is available as a source code distribution, as well as binary
distributions for many architectures.
The sources for XFree86 are available by anonymous ftp from:
ftp://ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/current
Solaris binaries for XFree86 are available for anonymous ftp at the same
address.
Currently, two binary distributions are available: one for Solaris 8 x86, the
other for previous Solaris x86 releases.
They are not interchangeable.
No binary distribution is available for Solaris/SPARC as it is still under
development.
