PLEASE use a site that is close to you in the network.

Note that the RELEASE notes are generally available separately in the same
directory; the notes list changes from previous versions of X and offer a
guide to the distribution.

The following list was originally obtained from the X Consortium. As sites
have been found to have dropped their distributions, they have been removed.
