Ubuntu To Abandon X11
For Unity Desktop
--------------------------------------------------------
From: http://www.h-online.com
On a post on his blog, Ubuntu founder
Mark Shuttleworth has said that, in the medium term,
the Ubuntu project plans to switch to a new graphics system.
In about a year's time, Wayland, a lean, OpenGL-based graphics
and window system, is to replace the X Server and the X Window system.
According to Shuttleworth, X11 isn't set up to deliver the
user experience the project intends to create
by switching to the Unity desktop.
