GUI of Linux operating system is based on the client server architecture and
it uses X Window System that is the default windowing system of Linux. The
two X desktop environments are KDE and GNOME. The KDE and GNOME
desktop environments also provide various types of utilities, such as office,
Internet, accessories, and system tools. The end users need to learn the
utilities to perform their daily tasks, such as creating documents, doing

decompress files, which will enable users to reduce the size of huge files that
