Happy Birthday XFree86

Slashdot | XFree86 10 Years Old

Well, I never promised this would cover only politics. I use XFree86 every day for things like GAIM and so forth. It runs on nearly every platform known to man, including Windows (with Cygwin) and Mac OS X (natively). Sure, it's bloated, but with Xft at least it isn't necessarily ugly anymore. And yet, it's binary and backwards compatible with the original version. So, congrats to the XFree86 team for putting out a great product!
