Mandrakelinux Goes X.org

First release for cooker was announced on the changelog list the 7th of June:

Nice to see for all us cookers out there:)
Also on another note, Mandrakelinux has also switched to gcc-3.4 now"
Anyone know where I can find decent information on the X protocol without druging through the source? I've been toying around with Y-Windows, and I've been wondering just how much work it'll take to make some kind of compatibility driver/subsystem.
Thanks in advance.

We get all kinds of these gun totting dipshits here all the time. They ask us why we give them change in Canadian dollars and why we don't fly the American flag. To get to the island I live on they have to take a ferry but many insist they drove over a bridge for some reason. They ask us where the queen is. They stink like crap. Even their babies are overweight. They show up with winter coats on in the summer expecting to see igloos and polar bears even though this city is only a hundred or so miles north of Seattle. Americans are stupid.
I just love it when our Canadian cousins "winge" at their mistreatment at the hands of brutal Americans. Canada would be a lot better off if Quebec were granted independence, and we put the rest of the Canucks into concentration camps. Then we could get at those natural resources that are rightfully ours.
To the South we've got the Mexicans. I heartily support the idea of giving them back Texas. Let the Bushes go to D.F. when they want to rape a nation. On the othe rhand, the Mexicans probably won't want the Tejanos, so we can ship them up to the now vacant lands of Canada, where they'll be happy shooting game and playing their damned polka music.
In a few hundred years, the Tejanos will have multiplied, and with legends of their southern homeland in their hearts, will sweep South, until they control everything from Elesmere Island to Tierra del Fuego. No doubt they'll allow Montreal to remain a free city; Prussians love a good French whorehouse.
See you in July.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
