Re: Oracle 9i Enterprise Manager

Hi John

It's just one of those things you'll pick up on the way... Learning by doing.
Most GUI stuff on unix has something to do with the X Windows System which provides GUI services to applications. Perhaps you will come in contact with related technology like Motif, CDE, Xlib, the X protocol, and X toolkit.

Kenton Lee's site has a lot of resources: http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.framed.html

A lot of Oracle's software needs an 'X server' to be able to display "themselves", like the Universal Installer (how did you install the DB btw? ;-))

Not sure if you were looking for something like this, but what the hey.

Regards
Fredrik
