It depends; some users may use a GUI while others prefer the command line (just like Windows, for example).
Probably just a UNIX based with a GUI.
It in UNIX the GUI is separate from the operating system itself. You can uninstall the GUI and still have a completely working UNIX system.
There is no such thing as a "GUI-based operating system." A GUI is just one of many method for interacting with an operating system and using it to accomplish a task. The GUI is in no way related to how an operating system works internally.
A GUI operating system is really anything that uses graphics to control what a system does. GUI stands for "Graphic User Interface". So there for, MACOS, Windows, and the Main screen of Linux/Unix is considered a GUI, the operating system is the part of software that controls what the computer is doing.
Several different versions of UNIX have GUI's or Graphical User Interfaces. The most common example of UNIX with an interface is Mac OS X.
Yes and no. Yes, Linux has a GUI. Dozens, in fact, all running on the X Windowing System. No, Linux is not BASED on a GUI. Only Windows really has the concept of an operating system "based" on a GUI. To Linux, the X Windowing System and whatever you run on top of it is just another application.

No, not all of them are GUI-based. MS-DOS and UNIX primarily operate through a command-line interface, while Windows 3.1 and Windows Vista are both graphical user interfaces (GUIs). MS-DOS is a text-based operating system, whereas UNIX can have both command-line and GUI options, depending on the specific distribution and environment used. Windows 3.1 and Vista, on the other hand, are designed for user-friendly graphical interaction.
A GUI can be used in Unix (in fact, several). Most power users don't use the GUI because it can be too limiting. The power of what you can do in Unix is at the command line, not using a GUI to click on buttons. Of course, this could be said about most operating systems; the GUI is there for user convenience but most administrators use the command line for most of their work.
A GUI operating system is an extremely complex system that your mom is usually found inside.
"Old Computers" where a textual-based Operating System. In early versions of computers it was required to learn an Operating System language (DOS, UNIX, etc.) There were no GUI (Graphical User Interface) to point and click at. You needed to learn directory mapping, parameters, functions, and this was all based off of memorization and you had to learn an Operating System before you became a user.
No, DOS is command based only - not Windows based which is a graphic user interface.
