I'm not trying to be facetious...What part of X11 matches the text in/text out -- small programs that do one thing -- mode? Even Linus says that "model" doesn't

I'm not trying to be facetious...What part of X11 matches the text in/text out -- small programs that do one thing -- mode? Even Linus says that "model" doesn't really apply any more. Maybe systemD and it's author's are whatever...I think that the CoreOS people are demonstrating that programmatic administration is the best model for massive scale. That's my only point.

X11 may be an odd duck out in the nix world, but then i started as a way to put graphical terminals on mainframes. As such the server end started out being a beast all its own... Still more flexible than systemd though, as i can run a X server on, say, Windows to get the UI of a program running any kind of nix out there.
