It asks what is "X" and calls it "Aeon."
No it doesn't. I asks the quesiton "What is X", but so far it hasn't answered it. The answer will be revealed soon.
So it would appear that X is coming to OS 4.1, which may be how Netscape and Apache are coming, Hyperion are porting X, great move, it should provide a lot of open source software quickly. Evolution, Open Office, the GIMP, Apache, maybe even MySQL all at once rather than one at a time. It would be a brilliant move.
There already is an X server for AmigaOS 4.x, and it is certainly not how we ported Timberwolf. I pointed out repeatedly (although probably no one listened at that time) that Gecko doesn't need much infrastructure in terms of "GUI Toolkit". It can render everything by itself (which it does, in fact), and it runs on plain intuition Windows.
For Apache and MySQL, no X is required.
For OpenOffice, I'd rather have a native port. GIMP would require GTK, but even that can be ported without X, and would indeed open up quite a number of possibilities.
But X is not X11. The logo looks different. It's also not x86, X is an upper case letter.
