... UNIX and Linux don't incorporate the user interface into the kernel; instead, they let it be implemented by user level programs. ... This arrangement makes the system more flexible, but has the disadvantage that it is simple to implement a different user interface for each program, making the system harder to learn. ... X also does not implement a user interface; it only implements a window system, i.e., tools with which a graphical user interface can be implemented. ... Sun May 4 14:08:43 EEST 1997...
