Curious, I am running Linux.  What is the native GUI associated with that?


x-windows.  based on my 2 wks worth of knowledge of AIX and Linux,
x-windows is one of those ancient technologies which is the foundation
of modern day Linux.  Linux has no integrated call stack support,
ditto the throwing and catching of exceptions and relies on GUI APIs
that are likely pre date and are outclassed by WIN32. go figure why
people prefer Linux over Windows.
