Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Yes, I'm not hiding my code. Very little code completed, I started writing my own DE because it's kind of a school project that i have to do... not that i don't like any DE's. I just wanted to try and write my own since my teacher suggested it..
Thanks, you're right, it isn't necessary to run a desktop environment.
opensource DE? already have some code completed?
what are the reasons you started writing your own DE but not joined project like xfce in order to improve it? you aren't satisfied by ANY currently available DE?
step 6 may be finished without DE loading. and you are ready to use your computer there, once you log into console.
Im running Gentoo Linux with xfce, I always manually do "startxfce4" if I need GUI.
