>>I keep hearing the term "GUI". What is that? GUI is the acronymn for 'graphical user interface'. You will tend to see it alot because many Linux programs actually have several. Some of them are just different Deveopers doing the same thing, but in some cases (especially for such a flexible program like mysql) you will find different GUIs which offer different functions. Or at least, that is my very basic understanding of all that. you will also hear GUIs ReferreD to as a 'front end'.
