Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is defined by a the
Object Management Group. It defines the object-oriented Interface
Definition Language (IDL), mappings to a variety of languages like C, C++
and Smalltalk, and an infrastructure to allow functions calls to be
distributed. Its OO RPC.
The ILU package which is available for debian provides a similar
environment. I'm not sure if there is a true CORBA product for Linux.
I don't know how the X consortium got involved with this.
