Desktop Environments
The desktop environment is the graphical user interface that a person uses to interact with a computer. If you imagine a computer system as a series of layers it would look something like this:
Hardware < Operating System < Window System < Window Manager < Desktop Environment
in most Puppies the default is-
Hardware < Linux < X Windows < JWM or OpenBox
(the window managers JWM or Openbox act as the desktop environment in many Puppy versions.)
