Linux operating system, two in one
The Linux operating system comes with two interfaces in one, a command line interface (like that found in MS-DOS) and the graphical X Window System, also known as just X, with Gnome sitting on top of X. X itself is said to sit on top of the command line operating system, allowing total access to the operating system through a graphical interface. (Some operating systems, such as Windows ME, provide you with only a graphical interface.)
GNOME is the default graphical user interface (GUI) for Red Hat Linux. You can also use the K Desktop Environment (or KDE) if you want. With desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME, Linux provides a graphical user interface much more like that of Mac OS or Windows than the traditional Unix command line interface. In the same way, many graphical program packages are getting a huge amount of attention for Linux that provide much of the functionality of usual commercial programs available on the other desktop operating systems, although the later are still much greater in extent and magnitude.
Linux is the foundation of the LAMP server-software combination that has attained general appeal among web developers. Usually, Linux is used as an embedded operating system. The low cost of Linux makes it attainable to utilize it in devices such as the Simputer, a low-cost computer targeted especially at low-income populations in developing nations. This stereotype has been subverted in recent years by the increasing user-friendliness and wider adoption of many Linux distributions. Linux has made significant progress in the server and special-purpose markets and is getting to make inroads into the high volume “desktop” market.
