Most Unix/Linux OS's have some form of desktop (gnome is my personal fav). However, many Unix/Linux servers that I have setup are headless (without graphical interfaces) and can only be accessed via command line.





On my system I spend about 80% of the time on a command line.
Reply:yes you can use a mouse in linux, plus you can use the keyboard as well, you can also use in what they call a command window, its all totally customisible to.
Reply:Almost all UNIX-based operating systems (such as Linux, Mac OS X etc.) do use the mouse, just like in Windows. Some distributions of Linux are pared down to just a text-based interface for those who are more comfortable with that, but it's relatively uncommon. For an example of one of the more popular Linux distros that uses the mouse (of course), you can check out Ubuntu Linux at http://www.ubuntu.com . You can even burn a CD of Ubuntu that you can run on your computer without installing anything, to see how you like it without any pressure.
