 X can be called ``X'', ``X Window System'', ``X11'', and other terms. ``X Windows'' is to be avoided wherever possible; see X(1) for more information.
 <<<<<
 
 Problems: X(1) link is broken, and it is an overblown statement about "X Windows".
 
 
 >>>>>
 Alternative forms for ``X'' suggested by the X Consortium, such as the trademarked full name ``X Window System'' and a few combinations which add the version number, can be found in X(1). If you want to adhere to that list, you should not be calling it ` `X Windows'', another name commonly used.
 <<<<<
 
 The link for X(1) should be http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=X&manpath=FreeBSD+Ports
 Also nice would be a link for the X Consortium (www.x.org doesn't seem to mention that name, BTW).
