Preface
This is a book about the X Window System, a technology that continues to amaze
observers in many ways. It was released as open source software before that term was
formally defined, it??™s more than 20 years old but has an installed base that is growing
daily, and it maintains compatibility with decades-old software while still taking
full advantage of the very latest hardware.
This software is so versatile and can be used in so many different ways that it??™s not
easy to cover it in a traditional book format??”so this book is written in the Power
Tools format, as a collection of short, independent articles that are extensively crossreferenced.
This book is written for experienced computer users who need to manage, configure,
and support the X Window System, whether on a single laptop, a network of
hundreds of remote displays, or a public-access kiosk.
How This Book Is Organized
Each article in this book is numbered by its chapter number and section number??”so
3.2 is the second article in Chapter 3.
