Linux is like older versions of Windows, it's got GUIs on top of a textbased base...
No, Linux and Unix are different, Linux is just a lot like Unix, but different, and free... :) Unix isn't free or open source, I believe. And Linux is mainly (though not only) for Intel-based x86 architecture machines... I'm not sure about Unix. I think that Sun uses a (proprietary) version of Unix for its computers (servers and stuff)?
Quote:Are there non-linux GUIs for Unix? [edit] Actually, I don't think there are. I have the impression that Unix is all text-based.
