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.

Archbang - clean desktop and open windows. Arch Xfce VM.
*WARNING!*The Archbang desktop screenshots are from months ago, the kernel depicted running in those screenshots are not the kernel I'm currently running, the kernel I'm currently running is 3.12.2 about to be upgraded to 3.12.3.
I converted my Archbang install to Arch this month, got rid of SLiM, Openbox, Tint2, Conky, LXTerminal, Thunar, LXAppearance, LXRandr, and OBTheme and replaced that config with LXDM and MATE. Also, to complete the conversion, I installed Screenfetch and replaced the archbey entry in the BASH config file with screenfetch so that the terminal reads as Arch instead of Archbang.
As for theme, I'm using Ambiance Cold + Aw0ken icons currently, and I've also set it to Human for the lols a couple times. Here's a screenshot of MATE using Ambiance Cold and one using Human.
As for the compositor, I kept Compton, and I'm currently using it with unredirect fullscreen rendering enabled with MATE.
Also changed my username and hostname since the last time I posted screenshots.
Also, used GNOME3 for a little while before getting rid of the preconfigured Openbox and GNOME both and going with MATE, GNOME3 Classic Mode has a lot of potential, however for my hardware, it's just to heavy, while lighter DEs like MATE or Xfce4 are great on hardware of those specs.

How did you replace the Mate icon on the menu bar?
