Dear Guha

It is going on for too many mails: already OT now, as pointed out by Aswin 
Mansingka or Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay. Let me reply to one of these questions 
very quickly.

Obviously Linux GUI is GUI too, but with a difference that it does not hide 
the OS and the Command Interpreter, that is, the deeper layers. As you can 
remember, it was a big point there in the lecture: this elaborate process of 
hiding. 

If you are interested we can have mails off the list.

Thanking you
