My first experience with UNIX (Solaris) was in the late 1998 or so. Initially, it was with tty's but there were a few machines in the lab with displays that supported X. I never used Windows before seriously so in some sense, X was my first windowing system. xeyes was probably the best vanity toy I saw. I remember trying to understand how things like twm, fvwm, motif etc. worked. The first few programs using Xlib and Xaw. Great times. Happy birthday X11!
