Everything about X terminal
Computing device
In computing, an X terminal is a display/input terminal or thin client built to run an X server for the X Window System and display graphical applications whose programs normally execute on one or more remote host computers. Unlike a text-only terminal, an X terminal can show multiple applications in separate windows and accept keyboard and mouse input while communicating with several hosts over a network, typically Ethernet. X terminals enjoyed a period of popularity in the early 1990s when they offered a lower total cost of ownership alternative to a full Unix workstation. Wikipedia →
