X is a graphical windowing system that can be used on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and some proprietary operating systems as well.
X is not the only windowing system; <CODE>twin(1)</CODE> exists for windowed multitasking within a framebuffer and Wayland is another windowing system intended to replace X.

Some Linux software distributions have included scripts to automatically fetch and install an X server.

It's possible to make X _man(`exec(3)') a window manager at the end of initialization to ease the creation, deletion, and manipulation of windows.
Contrary to what is now popular belief, window managers are not necessary (thought they're extremely convenient compared to the lack of them).
