|How is Metro-X better than XFree86?

It's a proprietary port of XF86 and supports some servers that the free
version doesn't. Matrox is one I think, they have an agreement with
Matrox so they can get the technical info. It may also be better
optimised for accelerated cards. This is what I hear, I don't have an
accel card so I just used the free one.  I think this is also the CD
with Motif libraries.

|I was told that the RedHat CD actually includes a book,
|doesn't Infomagic include any printed material?

The more expensive RedHat one does I think, the Archive CD doesn't. Not
for $25.  I wouldn't expect the Infomagic one to have a book for $25
either.
