Before You Begin
UnixWare Methodology
UnixWare Methodology
Introduction UnixWare is an operating system that allows you to use either of
the following methods to complete most tasks:
■
Desktop
■
Shell command-line interface
Desktop The desktop is a graphical user interface (GUI) that uses
windows, icons, and the mouse.
If you are a beginning UnixWare user, we suggest you use the
desktop because it is more intuitive and does more error checking
than the shell command-line interface.
Shell The shell command-line interface requires you to type commands
to work with UnixWare.
If you are knowledgeable about the UNIX operating system, you
can use either the shell or the desktop to do your work.
Procedures
in this book The UnixWare procedures in this book focus on how to use the
shell. To use the desktop, click on the appropriate icons to open
the file you want to change, then use the procedure described in
this book.
See also See your UnixWare System Owner Hand book for instructions on
using the desktop.
