X.org is an implementation of the X Window System. The X Window System is a system commonly used on Unix computers to provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) platform, which programs can use to interact with the user. X.org is an open-source implementation of this system.

Does Linux have a user interface that uses point and clicking technolog?
Yes. It has dozens of GUIs all running on the Xorg implementation of the X Windowing System standard.
Where can information be found on network monitoring?
www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/nmtf/nmtf-tools.html is an place to look up the tools you would need for that task. Wikipedia can tell you what it is in the way of defination.
How do you install the Opera browser on Zenwalk 6?
Click on the related link and follow regular installation procedures. It's dependencies are: cxxlibs, expat, fontconfig, freetype, gcc, libdrm, libpng, mesa, qt-base, xcb, xorg-libs, and zlib.
Does Linux support the ATI Radeon HD 3780?
Neither Linux nor the X Server (Xorg) have built-in drivers, due to the proprietary nature of the card. However, ATI / AMD does make proprietary drivers available for download (link available below).
How do you change screen resolution if resolution is out of range?
You can change the screen resolution by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf. On Debian and Ubuntu-based systems, you can also fix it automatically by issuing the commandsudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-coreOn Debian, you need to switch to the root user, instead of preceding the command with "sudo."
What do all distributions of Linux share?
For one: The Linux kernel. Otherwise it wouldn't be a Linux distribution. That's about it, actually. However, extremely common components include the GNU toolchain including glibc, desktop distributions will invariably deploy the Xorg server on top of which a desktop environment or window manager will run. As far as init systems go, System V is by far the most common, however systemd is starting to replace it.
What is composite privilege?
A vulnerability has been reported in X.org X11, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the composite extension when copying data from pixmaps with different bit depths. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by copying data between specially crafted pixmaps. The vulnerability is reported in xorg-server prior to version 1.4. Other versions may also be affected.

What is the role of the free software foundation in the development of Linux?
On a technical level? Nothing directly. In fact, as time went on it seemed like Richard Stallman seems to really dislike Linux. Some claim that Linux wouldn't exist without GNU, which was RMS' doing, but in all honesty Linux could still have easily existed without it. It's nnot like GCC was the only C compiler in existence in 1991.
Why might a person choose to purchase a commercial X server instead of using Xfree86 which comes free with each copy of Linux?
As far as I know, there are no longer any commercial X servers used in any Unix or Unix-like systems. Further, XFree86 has long since been deprecated and virtually abandoned in Linux in favor of Xorg (Which may in time be replaced by Wayland, which is not an X server or even an implementation of the X specification.) If we're talking theoretical reasons, there are two I can think of: 1. Many corporations do not trust open source at all, but will still prefer Unix, in which case they will probably seek a proprietary X implementation, but tough luck finding a modern window manager or desktop environment for X that is not open source today. CDE is an option, but it hasn't seen a "stable" release in over 15 years. This is often the excuse many corporations use for selecting Windows instead of Unix for workstations. 2. Similar to the above: Corporations may want a "support contract" they might actually get from a commercial X server. In reality, chances are any Unix today worth its salt will just use Xorg and either GNOME or KDE.
Is Linux a user interface that incorporates point-and-click technology?
The answer is Yes and No. Point and click technology can be incorporated into Linux, or it can be run as a basic command line. Multiple "point and click" GUIs are available with the most popular being gnome and KDE. For example, Ubuntu runs gnome, but people who prefer the KDE GUI can download Kubuntu.
