Should I use Xorg or XFree86 for XServer?

In addition to Erik's comments, sysinstall *does* handle the install
of Xorg, so I'd highly recommend going with that.  I didn't even think
about installing XFree86, so I don't actually remember if it gives you
a choice when you tell it to install the X server.

X.org is every bit as smooth as XFree86 - no reason it shouldn't be
since it's branched from the same codebase, and from everything I
hear, it'll be much easier going forward if you move to Xorg now.
