I think Bruno is on the right track. IBM/PC-DOS based machines didn't have Windows until 1985 (Version 1.0), and Apple's GUI was introduced on the Lisa in 1982/1983. If you go back far enough, the Xerox Alto (1970's) had a GUI, and it was the inspiration for the Lisa. Yes, TMI...but I had fun doing some quick research on it ;)
-- Graphical interface in Linux (incorrect information) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Manual Team, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Manual. Status in Ubuntu Manual: New Bug description: Located in ./prologue/prologue.tex :131 (Launchpad Translations reference) It reads: "For many years, Linux was entirely command line based --- it didn't have a Graphical User Interface [...]" My first Linux was an Slackware distro, circa 1995 and it came with Fvwm, Netscape Navigator and a lot of Motif(ish) based applications... only 4 years after Linux was born :) My suggestion is to change "many years" by "some years", and add some reference to older GUIs being hard to configure (actually, a nightmare) Regards _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
