I've never seen GPT being associated with any kind of GUI. Surely people can design GUI's around gpt, but GPT isn't at all synonymous with a GUI. There are advantages of GPT over MBR. The main benefit in my opinion is that GPT removes the limits of MBR. Describing what those limits are is much too cumbersome to do in an email, but I assure you that information is available online. ~Paul On Fri, Mar 19, 2021 at 12:52 PM Robert Huff wrote: > > Duke Normandin writes: > > > Other than being GUI-based, is there any distinct advantage to > > using GPT? > > Um ...
