X Windows
X Window System

A standardized set of display procedures most often found in UNIX workstations. X Windows interacts directly with the workstation server to generate a window for the client's use, thus it works independently from the operating system or other hardware. Standards for the X Windows System are set by The Open Group's X Project Team, which is under the X Consortium, an organization formed by several hardware manufacturers.
