Wayland: A New X Server For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| It's no secret that much of the code-base that makes up the modern-day X.Org
| Server is old and in some places bloated. The X.Org Server continues to
| evolve and has received a number of major additions in recent times, but
| wouldn't a clean and lighter server that is designed around today's needs be
| ideal? Red Hat's Kristian Høgsberg has started a new project, which is
| currently known as Wayland, and is just that: a new lightweight X Server.
| Wayland isn't just a rewrite of the current X Server, but instead it's a
| small server that is designed around some of the latest graphics technologies
| such as kernel mode-setting and the Graphics Execution Manager. Wayland also
| has its own built-in compositing manager.

The joy of X - master the Linux GUI
,----[ Quote ]
| If you're a Linux user you have no doubt heard of GNOME and KDE. These
| popular desktop environments are really the pinnacle of a deep iceberg of
| technology with the X-Windows graphical interface underpinning it all. Here
| are a couple of ways to tame X, kicking off a journey of unlimited ability to
| change the Linux look-and-feel.

|
| If you see anything missing that should be present, or present that
| should be absent, yell very loudly, right now. Otherwise that'll go
| gold in a day or two.
