Maybe you would have been better off to start with a DSL HD install, and 
add what you want via "apt-get install faveprogram". (DSL is debian)

AFAIK, (I'm likely to have this muddled) Xorg is a fork of XFree86 that 
resulted from years of unresponsive development capped by an unsavory 
licensing proposal. Most distros , and right-thinking citizens, have 
moved on over to Xorg, which is enjoying brisk development an closer 
alignment with the vision at Freedesktop.org. They are both still 
implementations of "X windows"
