So it's finally happened. XFree86 has been forked. I hope that this will inject new life into the project and hopefully we will get some long due features. Transparent windows come to mind!

So what do you think? Will you run XFree86, or Xouvert?

It really depends which one is the more stable, and has the most support and features. Good luck to the Xouvert development team - I hope they stop people posting here on JL with X problems:p

Hey, did you read the part on thier home page about where the name Xouvert comes from? It's the name of the ancient Babylonian goddess of open windows. Talk about a PERFECT name.

Yeah, I thought that was clever also. Didn't really like the part about the Freemasons, even though I don't know what it was referring to.
