But first we need linux distributions to agree on what XFree they
want to ship and where. Corel's one is specific to all the things
about Corel's X, Caldera's is specific to that one, RedHat's to
that one, SuSE has even a completly different system, etc. 
Now came XF4.0.1 and things are even more different and you say
we should just take over Corel's? If just it would be that simple.

Greetings, Stephan
