My sentiments exactly. I here about 'linux with GUI" all the time. Even in PCWEEK surprisingly ( but then again they failed to see the power behind VMWARE). I sitting here trying to decide WHICH gui I should have. Unless there is some confusion in the public's eyes as to what GUI stands for (Graphical User Interface for those that don't ) . Which today means you can click on things and things happen. Well there are a ton of those that run under linux. The trouble the world is used to being tied to the ONE 'look' that identifies a product like M$. Well the world has got to realize that you can choose from a number of GUI's and call it your own. They should all work anyway. and you will still be able to go to someone else's machine and click on a button and something will happen( As all GUI's tend to do). Or better yet.. is there a 'Digital Equipment' GUI or for that matter is there a 'UNIX' GUI?? Then why should there be a 'LINUX' GUI??
