Is there any reason to upgrade from Darwin?
Just a quick question -- if I already have XDarwin (Xfree86) installed, does it make any sense to install Apple's X11 environment? How easy would it be to remove XDarwin and install the Apple X11 over it?
Upgrade from XDarwin? -Yes
Yes, the speed increase is really noticable. Plus, you get window interleaving, dock minimizing and copy-paste etc. to work. In short the new X11 makes X11-apps feel like "real" mac-apps, a bit like Java apps (exept for the UI and for those with international keymappings).
Upgrade XDarwin Yes, OroborOSX Maybe.
If you were using raw XDarwin, I would switch in a heartbeat. Everyone else will. Make sure you customize in the installer it to overwrite your config files. Better yet, uninstall XDarwin (with fink or OSXPM). |
