Seriously, on Unix, or OpenVMS, what do you need a GUI for, other
than to provide more terminal windows :^)
On OpenVMS, the only GUI app I ever use is the DECwindows version of
"DEC Mail", and then only every few months. In spite of this, I do a
fair amount of "Word Processing" on VMS.

So what does real unix use for a GUI?
X Windows with only three programs: xload, xclock and xterm. 8-P

for Mosaic/Netscape/Mozilla as well these past few years ... )
