OroborOSX ReviewNot obsolete at all! - Version: 0.9, 2/8/2004 06:42AM PST

KHoke
OroborOSX has features that Apple's X11 app lacks. On my space-constrained screen, I can use translucency and auto-focus to get full functionality from graphics windows overlapping xterms. Maybe X11.app can be enhanced with other window managers but I have yet to find one that played well with my setup. With the speed increases in v0.9, it seems that any advantage for X11.app has been met.

Apple's X11, which I assume updates/overwrites an existing installation of /usr/X11R6/, will OroborOSX still run?
