[KLUG Members] quick question on X in debian

Now that I have debian dual booting on my laptop I want to get X going 
and I have been reading about distros going to Xorg over XFree86. Now 
excuse my confusion because this has always been a point of confusion 
with me...

I have a set of instructions for getting X running with XFree86-common, 
x-window-system, KDE packages and the like and I was wondering if the 
new standard is going to be Xorg based, does anyone have a nice walk 
through for that? Is it just a matter of getting Xorg packages to 
replace the XFree86-common or what?

Thanks
Rick
