I'm a little bewildered by X.org and Xfree86 so I have a few questions:
1. How are they different? (especially since they are both implementations of the x window system)
2. Is Xfree86 still being developed?
3. Does XFree86 support things like composite extensions?
4. If they are implementations of the x windows system, then what is the x window system? Simply an idea or is there code available for the x window system?

Thankyou,
