Review

"I find this book extraordinary. It's one of the first books on
X which addresses questions of information systems policy with
respect to the X Window System...It will advance the case of X
and open systems by making the interesting issues more
accessible..."
Oliver Jones
"THE X WINDOW SYSTEM: A USER'S GUIDE shines like a beacon. It
caters for the intelligent non-programmer, the person who can do
more than just click buttons and menus but doesn't want to dive
into code..."
Jon Vogler, SUN UK User
