Abstract
The various classes of extragalactic X-ray source and their possible contributions to the X-ray Background are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to recent limits to the source density from fluctuation analysis and to the problem of spectral mismatch. A new class of X-ray source is probably needed to explain the Background. Bremsstrahlung from a hot Intergalactic Medium is a strong possibility if enough energy can be found.
