Dear everyone,
I was reading a book about Solaris 9. When author talks about using CDE instead of GNOME under Solaris circumstance, he says and I quote,
"...Thus, while it (CDE) doesn't have as many
bells and
whistles as GNOME, it has enough features to make it worthwhile as a standard desktop in a heterogeneous UNIX environment."
I am sorry for asking this stupid question here, but since I am a non-native English speaker and a newbie to UNIX world, I really curious about the meaning of "bell" and "whistle" here.
Thanx in advanced.
