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.

CDE was my first introduction to a graphical environement. Was running on dec alphas at uni. The sys admin hated it though and compiled fvwm for us: never went back.
CDE is such an extreme UI that it instantly splits people into two crowds - you either love it or hate it. I am in the first group. Although I've seen and used CDE in two environments - AIX and Solaris. Liked AIX color scheme but didn't like Solaris colors that much. Still CDE is a missing piece to create a true old-school unix experience on top of modern OS (like Linux or FreeBSD). Some people simply like old-school I've always had good memories about big beige box from IBM that had RS/6000 F50 written on it.
