咱们有的盼喽 hehe.

What is XFree86?

   The XFree86 Project, Inc is a non-profit organisation that produces
   XFree86. XFree86 is a freely redistributable implementation of the X
   Window System that runs on UNIX(R) and UNIX-like operating systems
   (and OS/2). The XFree86 Project has traditionally focused on Intel
   x86-based platforms (which is where the `86' in our name comes from),
   but our current release also supports other platforms. One of our
   current goals is to increase the range of platforms that XFree86 runs
   on.

  Short delay in releases

     [December 1999]

     The XFree86 Project has been working very hard to get the 4.0
     release out the door. It is taking a little longer than expected so
     we will be releasing the next pre-4.0 snapshot (3.9.17) before the
     end of the year. We expect to release 4.0 about two months later in
     mid-Q1/2000.

     XFree86 3.3.6 will be released in parallel with 3.9.17 as well.

  XFree86 Joins X.Org as an Honorary Member

     [November 1999]

     X.Org, an organization of The Open Group, and The XFree86 Project
     have signed an agreement whereby XFree86 will become an Honorary
     Member of X.Org and receive a voting seat on the Executive Board of
     X.Org.
