====Desktop Environments====
~The Desktop Environment is the graphical user interface that a person uses to interact with a computer. It sits above the [[WindowManagers Window Manger]] level.  If you imagine a computer system as a series of layers it would look something like this:
~~-//Hardware < Operating System < Display Server/Window System < Window Manager < **Desktop Environment**//
---
~In most Puppies the default is: (JWM or ""Openbox"" act as the desktop environment)
~~-//Hardware < Linux < X Windows < [[JWM]] or [[OpenBox]]//
