<h1>X Terminal or X Server</h1>
<p>An X terminal is an electronic display terminal that
communicates with a host computer system using the X Window
protocol developed at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.</p>
<p>The X Window protocol allows a program running on the host
computer system to display both formatted text and graphics on
the X terminal. Since the X Window protocol is defined to work
over any TCP/IP network, X terminals connected to the Internet
can be connected to hosts located anywhere on the Internet.</p>
<p>Personal computers (including both PCs and Macintoshes) can
execute programs, usually called X servers, that make them act
like X Window terminals and are frequently used as X
terminals.</p>
<dl>
<dt>Note:</dt>
<dd>The terminology used to describe processes associated with
X terminals can be confusing. An X terminal is also known as an
"X display server," and the program running on the host
computer is usually known as the "X client."</dd>
