See I can't tell if that supports my claim or yours :-) Here's why: I went to that site and among others, looked at the page for distribution-specific X mail lists. Out of Redhat, Suse, Oracle OpenSolaris and OpenBSD, not one of those X-specific lists was active. Most not in years. But Debian's X list is thriving. Does that imply that only Debian carries a torch for truly platform- and server-agnostic X Windows? I didn't check Canonical/ubuntu. Cheers > -- > t >
