Hi folks, after not noticing for months, I've finally beocme aware of the major behind-the-scenes feuding btwn xfree86 & x.org. From browsing the debian-x lists, I see that xfree86 will likely no longer be supported by debian after the current release.
this led me to two questions: 1) is this going to affect debian users much? That is, will we be able to effortlessly upgrade to x.org packages in the future and simply leave xfree86 behind? Or will this become rather more complicated? 2) Does this stimulate any interest in or increase the possibility of acceptance of the various "successor" projects to x -- like Y windows, and I think I've seen others elsewhere (fresco?) which aim to redesign the desktop from the gorund up? This isn't a troll, but I am interested in these questions in party because I plan to be teaching a bunch of kids to run linux in the winter, and I'm just wondering whether the x framework as we currently know it will still be around. later, matt -------------------------- .''`.
