What does the startx command due?
 
hello - What does the startx command do?

Not sure how to explain it in any simpler terms than it already is; the command "startx" is used to...start X. You would usually only have to run startx manually if you were on a system that doesn't start up in a graphical runlevel.

P.S.
This is not a kernel related question. In the future, try to make sure you post questions in the most applicable forum possible to maximize your chances of getting a quick answer.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Newbie>, as it has nothing to do the kernel, and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

That's about it... X server is what allows your computer to have a graphical desktop instead of being text-based.
