- The CLI or the command line interface allows a user to type commands into a terminal or console window to interact with the operating system. The user has to enter the command or a series of command for each task that the user wants to be performed.
- The GUI or the graphical user interface on the other hand uses graphics in tandem with the keyboard and a mouse to give the user an easy to use interface to use the program. The GUI provides the user with windows, menus, buttons, scrollbars etc to enbale the users to interact with the operating system.
- The most common types of GUI interfaces provided by Solaris is the CDE (Common Desktop Environment ) and the GNOME desktop. Both the GUIs provide similar functionality to the user to use the operating system.
