X

I just bought a PowerBook to complement the eMac that I've had for a while. I am going to switch my primary machine from the trusty FreeBSD desktop that I've been running for many years to my PowerBook.

First thing is to get Zope's External Editor to work, so that I may, like, put stuff on this blog now and then more easily. For that I need Tkinter, it seems. For that, I need X. There are, AFAICTATM, Apple's own X-for-Panther (based on some version of XFree86?), XFree86 itself, XDarwin, x.org maybe, and probably some other Xs that I have yet to come across. Fortunately Google points to lots of OSX-related material, so it is just a matter of reading up and digesting the stuff, all from the comfort of the PowerBook itself. ;-)
