The basics of beginning

Hi,

Forgive me if I don't know nuttin.

I need to get into Unix at a low level. I have installed X11 0.2.1. (iMac 800 512M ram, OS 10.2.4).

When I double click on it (X11) I get the same window I would get from double clicking Terminal.

What is the point of X11? What does it allow me to do?

Don't tell me to look in archives, unless you include a URL(s). Days spent there seem to start at levels above a rank beginner.

I have installed FinkCommander 0.5.0, haven't been able to crack the purpose of it either.

Any guidance for this senior citizen would be greatly appreciated,
