What is the X Window System?
The X Window System is the most widely available windowing system capable of running on UNIX or UNIX like systems, including FreeBSD. X.org administers the X protocol standards. The current release of the specification is 11.6, so you will often see references shortened to X11R6 or even just X11. Many implementations are available for different architectures and operating systems. For instance, an implementation of the server-side code is properly known as an X server.
The X Window System (commonly X11) is the most widely available windowing system capable of running on UNIX or UNIX like systems, including FreeBSD. The X.Org Foundation administers the X protocol standards, with the current reference implementation, version 11 release 7.3, so you will often see references shortened to X11. Many implementations are available for different architectures and operating systems. An implementation of the server-side code is properly known as an X server.

[ScheiflerGettys92] The X Window System, or X, is a network-transparent window system. With X, multiple applications can run simultaneously in windows, generating text and graphics in monochrome or color on a bitmap display. Network transparency means that application programs can run on machines scattered through the network.
