Word: X server

Def: An X server is a server of connections to X terminal in a distributed network that uses the X Window System. From the terminal user's point-of-view, the X server may seem like a server of applications in multiple windows. Actually, the applications in the remote computer with the X server are making client request for the services of a windows manager that runs in each terminal. X servers (as part of the X Window System) typically are installed in a UNIX-based operating system in a mainframe, minicomputer, or workstation.
