   Two more announcements today of potential interest to Mac OS X users:

   - X11 for Mac OS X

     Apple has released a beta of this product, which
     "offers a complete X Window System implementation for
     running X11-based applications." X 11 for Mac OS X is
     based on the work of the open source XFree86 project.

     [Just saw Greg Merritt's announcement while I was typing this! :-)
      Thanks, Greg!]

   - MySQL package for Mac OS X

     MySQL AB will 'officially' be distributing their popular, open
     source relational database in the form of a Mac OS X ".pkg" file
     from their Web site beginning in February. This is based
     on scripts and tools by developer Marc Liyanage, who
     currently offers this MySQL 3.23.x package from his own site.
