According to Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
X11 appeared in 1987 (4 years before Linux)

I couldn't find when it made into Linux... almost certainly, before 1995

Bug description:
Located in ./prologue/prologue.tex :131 (Launchpad Translations reference)

It reads:
"For many years, Linux was entirely command line based --- it didn't have a Graphical User Interface [...]"

My first Linux was an Slackware distro, circa 1995 and it came with Fvwm, Netscape Navigator and a lot of Motif(ish) based applications... only 4 years after Linux was born :)

My suggestion is to change "many years" by "some years", and add some reference to older GUIs being hard to configure (actually, a nightmare)
