<P>To exit from <B>fvwm</B> and usually quit X (if <B>fvwm</B> is the last X application in your <B>.xinitrc</B> or <B>.xsession</B> file), you usually call up the <B>fvwm</B> root menu and quit. The default choices are Exit Fvwm, which invokes a submenu to confirm, and Yes, Really Quit.</P>

<P>The X Window System is a graphical interface used by Linux, and it comes in the form of XFree86, a version of X optimized for the PC architecture.

</P>

<P>This chapter deals with one of the most tedious, nonintuitive, and uninspiring aspects of Linux installation and configuration&#151;messing around with XFree86. You learned about all the mundane details that go into a typical XFree86 configuration process, including mucking around with various files and settings.</P>

<P>X runs through a series of configuration files after it&#146;s launched. Some of these files control what applications begin when X begins, while other files add functionality in the form of the X Display Manager.</P>

<P>Once you have X up and running, you can run some of the many neat X-based programs that ship with the Slackware distribution. One of the handiest is <B>xterm</B>, an admittedly blah program that gives you a UNIX-like terminal (and, by extension, access to the UNIX command line). We find that most Linux users use <B>xterm</B>, making it one of the most popular X Window applications. In this chapter we discuss <B>xterm</B>, how to configure it, and how to use it.</P>

<P>The <B>fvwm</B> window manager is advertised as being Motif-like, and it is&#151;on the surface. After you use it for a while, you&#146;ll learn that it doesn&#146;t respond to the same commands as the Motif window manager (<B>mwm</B>), and all in all it works differently than does <B>mwm</B>.</P>

<P>In the next chapter we&#146;ll cover additional Linux tools, both character-based and X-based.</P><P><BR></P>
