Debian Sid Moves to X.Org

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the politics-and-guis-oh-my dept.

debiansid writes "Yes, Debian sid finally has X.Org. The Changelogs suggest that some work has been taken from the Ubuntu packages of X.Org. Here is an article that gives details on how to migrate to X.Org on sid. This article, by the way, has been posted from an X.Org based X-Window System, and it really IS much faster than XFree86."

    Sid Phillips: Huh?
    Woody: This system ain't big enough for the two of us!
    Sid Phillips: What?
    Woody: Somebody's poisoned the XFree86!
    Sid Phillips: It's busted.
    Woody: Who are you calling busted, Buster?
    Sid Phillips: Huh?

    ....and on the same day I finally switched to Ubuntu. First time I read /. after installing Ubuntu, I see this! Typical. :-)

    Note to author: the usage of "moves" is ambiguous in title. It is unclear, from context alone, if it is being used as a transitive or intransitive verb.

    USE KOMPRESSOR GRAMMATIK!
