Completely fair point, and very apt. It doesn't make a whole lot of
sense to talk about GUIs in the Mac or Windows PC sense when we're
talking about a system designed as a server.

And to bring this back to the message that started this thread: I
can't imagine any sense in which IBM i *is* a GUI. (Note that OP
didn't even mention whether IBM i *has* a GUI.) I think calling IBM i
a GUI would be confusing and unhelpful. The question presupposes that
the audience has heard of Unix. It would be better to call IBM i a
mainframe-flavored alternative to Unix.
