This article is nearing complete inaccuracy, especially the entire last paragraph. X11 apps can be executed via Terminal.app, one merely needs to set the DISPLAY environment variable. Additionally, an X server has come with Mac OS X for some time (although it is not normally installed by default).

You're right; that paragraph had a lot of nonsense. Tried to fix. – Andyluciano 13:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, I've tried to fix it up a bit more. The list of bash commands is actually tcsh commands, which used to be the default shell. But I am curious to see if the changes I have incorporated "stick" before I sink any more time or energy into this. --Wgscott 03:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Easter egg

I am not sure how widely this is known, but there is an easter egg where the terminal runs a kind of "life simulation." You type "emacs" , then ESC and X at the same time, and the type "life" (without quotes). Does anyone know where this originated? Maybe this should be mentioned...

It's neither an easter egg nor related to Terminal; it's a game included in emacs, like "doctor". Engelec 01:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
