Exodus is the ninth studio album by Jamaican reggae recording band Bob Marley and the Wailers, first released 3 June 1977 though Island Records. With the other original members leaving the group, Marley recruited a new backing band. Their first major success was Rastaman Vibration (1976).

Following the assassination attempt Marley left Jamaica and was exiled to London where Exodus was recorded.

Exodus is a reggae album, incorporating elements of blues, soul, British rock and funk. The album's production has been characterized as laid-back with pulsating bass beats and an emphasis on piano, trumpet and guitar. Unlike previous albums from the Wailers, Exodus thematically moves away from cryptic story-telling; instead it revolves around themes of change, religious politics, and sex. The album is split into two halves: the first half revolves around religious politics while the second half is focused on themes of sex and keeping faith.

The album was a success both critically and commercially; receiving gold certifications in the US, UK and Canada, and was the album that propelled Marley to international stardom. In 2007 Exodus was remastered and re-released for its 30th anniversary. Exodus has more tracks on Marley’s greatest hits album, Legend—the highest selling reggae album of all time—than any of his other records.

eXodus is a display server implementing the X11 display server protocol that was originally developed by White Pine Software. White Pine founders began development in the fall of 1987, and released Version 1.0 in April 1989. Version 1.0 was only built for the Macintosh platform, but versions for Windows, DOS, and NeXT would follow in the coming years.

In 1995, White Pine began a transition away from its line of desktop connectivity products (of which eXodus was the prime revenue contributor) in favor of products incorporating its newly acquired CU-SeeMe videoconferencing technology. This transition was effectively completed in February 2000, when White Pine sold the connectivity product division to Powerlan, Ltd., a software company based in Sydney, Australia. Shortly thereafter, White Pine Software changed its name to CU-SeeMe Networks.
