-
-    <p>The X Window System is used with a number of operating systems,
-      including &os;. The documentation for X can be found at the <a
-	href="http://www.x.org/">X.Org Foundation</a> web site.
-      Beware, much of this documentation is reference material which
-      is more likely to be difficult for newcomers to digest.</p>

-    <li><p>Before you can get X running exactly the way you like, you
-      will need to choose a window manager.  Visit the <a
-      href="http://xwinman.org/">Window Managers for X</a> page and
-      follow the link to the introduction to find out about window
-      managers, then return and read "The Basics". Then go back and
-      compare the different types that are available. (Bonus: there is
-      another beginners guide to UNIX there too.) Most, if not all, of
-      these window managers are available to install from the &os;
-      Ports Collection.</p></li>
