Do X-Server/X-Org come with the kernel itself or are they separate packages that are installed in distributions? What is difference between Xorg and Xserver?

Xorg is merely the name for the project managing the suite of software for running an X11R6 server. Xorg is not part of the kernel though. It is a separate suite of libraries and applications, and can be built and run on not only the Linux kernel, but also runs on BSD, Darwin, Windows, and other platforms as well.
