Hi all I would like to give an explanation regarding this.priorly there are 2 types of OS: viz Single-User Operating Systems and Multi-user Operating systems. Single-User are those which can be used for stand-alone systems eg: DOS. Multi-user user OS are those which have the capability to share data to more than on user .eg: Windows.After the Client/Server architecture came into existence There comes the necessity of an OS which can as a Server. These are Server OS. eg: Win NT Windows 2000 Server and so on.And we have different range of Server OS which types of OS clients. However that depends on the OS Vendor.ThanQSatish Kumar Vemula

RE: What are the types of OS? What is GUI, Which OS will come this side? What is NON-GUI and Which OS will come this side

There are several types of Operating System (OS) such as
Windows 98 2000 XP
Linux
Unix
etc.

OS is also be called as a software which behaves as a platform for other softwares to run.

GUI graphical user interface is nothin but only we can say:
"What we see is what we do OR what we do is what we see"

GUI such as Windows XP in which there are many labels or dropdownbox which we can see and can understand what actually we have to do. On the other hand NON-GUI is something where we cannot see actually what is happening everything can be done by using commands for example Unix in which we must have knowledge of commands.
