Due to the hugely positive response to the initial beta of X11 for Mac
OS X (over 100 thousand downloads!), Apple is pleased to provide a
second public beta for X11 at:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/
This second beta is available as a free download for anyone using Mac
OS X 10.2.x. It contains a wide range of bug fixes and feature
enhancements (below)
We have also updated the Technical Q&A:
