System programming (from what I understand) seldom requires user intefrface (from what I understand of UIs). Now depending on which language you are most comfortable with (C/C++/perl/python etc), the answer to your question also differs. I am guessing you want to write applications with buttons, text boxes, etc (eg. gedit, kate, kwrite, gcalctool). Try looking/asking for help on qtdesigner (for QT) or glade (for gtk). You'll have to code in C/C++. If you want similar interface and want to use perl, look at perl/tk. If you want frontend for console based applications, look at ncurses. There are so many options available for the choice of toolkit (which provides widgets, i.e., buttons, windows, text-boxes, radio buttons etc) and choice of programming language available that not all can be compiled here. Ask your questions again. Which language do you want to work in? What do you want to make? SB -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
