X.Org Server - Adoption

Adoption

The X.Org Server is popular with the free software Unix-like operating systems, being adopted in most Linux distributions and BSD variants. It is also included in Sun Microsystems's Solaris, and is the de facto server for x86 systems; SPARC-based systems almost exclusively use Sun Microsystems's proprietary Xsun server, as Sun graphics driver support for X.Org is very limited. It is also used in Cygwin/X, Cygwin's implementation of the X server for Microsoft Windows, VcXsrv and in Xming. Mac OS X versions prior to 10.5 ("Leopard") ship with an XFree86-based server, but 10.5's X server is based on the X.Org codebase.

Famous quotes containing the word adoption:

    Frankly, I adore your catchy slogan, “Adoption, not Abortion,” although no one has been able to figure out, even with expert counseling, how to use adoption as a method of birth control, or at what time of the month it is most effective.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
