X11 is very complex. Basically, it usually runs behind the scenes on most Unixes, so a beginner doesn't even think about it. It's like the Macintosh Window Manager. It's very complex, but you aren't supposed to have to worry about it.
The idea is that if X11 is running, you can now run other programs that will use X11 to draw their windows, instead of Aqua.
1) Run X11
2) Run another application that requires X Windows to run, like emacs.


There's your very basic tutorial.  :-)

Hello,

I'm brand new to X11. Where can VERY basic documentation be found?

Thanks.

-Peter
