XFree86 10 Years Old

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the way-to-go-everyone dept.

To quote from the page, 'What makes this particularly eventful is that it is fully backwards compatible; this is a true testament to the spirit of the original X protocol of which XFree86 is its finest implementation.'" Ten years and still binary compatible. Very cool.
