   Hi Roy,   
      
    HG> Dunno what you are talking about. OS/2 has a GUI just like Windows,   
    HG> at least since Warp 3.   
      
   RW>The OS/2 that I installed, didn't have any GUI at all. It was like   
   RW>DOS v3.2, which was IMO, much better than OS/2...   
      
   It must then have been v2.n because that didn't have a GUI interface.   
   In my opinion the command line wasn't very convoluted as compared to   
   DOS and the manual was also excellent. I still have the manuals that   
   came along with v2.1 but I have re-used the installation diskettes   
   because the files that OS/2 creates are so much smaller that there is   
   a real benefit to using diskettes. There's no meta data included in the   
   files.   
      
   The operating system requires only 120 Mb (yes Mb) plus a swap file and   
   that is complete with a GUI.   
      
   The rest of the programs you use can be installed in another partition   
   and they are also much smaller than their M$ equivalent programs.   
      
   RW>I already new basic and DOS commands and I wasn't into learning yet   
   RW>another command set that was as strange to me as speaking in Arabic.   
      
   That is exactly the reason I didn't go to Linux plus the obvious lack of   
   undelete in that os. Neither do I like the case sensitivity of Linux.
