Yes, but keep in mind that it's an X server only (but a good one, for
what people are saying). You need to obtain the X window clients from
the XFree86 (TM) distribution. Since XFree86 does also provide a
bunch of servers, it might already be all you need. Accelerated X is
rather a high-end server, and it supports some graphics cards that are
unsupported in XFree86. It has some other advantages, for the minor
disadvantage that you are expected to pay $ 99 for it. (But if you
need it, i'm sure it's worth the money!)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
