Moving from windows to linux : Understanding - X Window System, X Server, Xorg, Xfree86.
- by claws
Hello,
I'm a windows developer(Win32api) moving from Windows to Linux. While installing linux there are lot of things to know about X11, X Window System, X Server, Xorg, Xfree86 and what not.
How come we aren't aware of such things in windows? Wiki article on these scares me. Can any one explain these things? How they work? Why is it so complicated in linux & not in windows?
Any good references are also appreciated.
PS: I love to know internals, don't hesitate to go into depth.
