Further simple complexity is that you may be running more than one instances
of GUI on same ^machine^ and switching between them by hot keys Ctrl+Alt+F7
-F8 -F9 -F10 and -F11.These can be GUI consoles of your choice KDE/Gnome/etc
running simultaneously as different/same(caution) users and a few of them
may be running remote applications / providing remote logins and all of them
may have multiple desktops. So U may think, feel, and be rich......well not
really unless U have a pretty / decently fast machine else power of runlevel
1 is also awesome .... depends on on u do with it, ...well I am learning.
Not satisfied yet ....OK you can have multihead displays, multiple
processors, Multiple boxes housing motherboards/processors/
RAMS/storage/andwhatnot..... You may also have multiple keyboards and mice
attached if U have biomachines (people).
We are not talking network - this is one kernel i.e. only one ^opsys^ and
that is what I understand LINUX ( oops *nix) to be.
Lets say Thanks to Linus Torvalds (or shall we also say so to the Gurus of
__).
PS: it can emulate your **favorite GUIdos also somewhere in those many
consoles. Please don't laugh, it is trillion $ industry - only smiles
please.
