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.

I want to make my system load in GUI to login. I set Login Manager in KDE, and found in google inittab. There maybe I have to change run level from 3 to 4 (X11 with KDE), but I am not sure to change the file. I am afraid to broke my system.
Do I have to change run level in inittab to boot in GUI?
Other way is to make image of the partition and to try it...
That's something you need to configure in the "Settings" manager somewhere. I am surprised that it defaulted to logging you in automatically , but it certainly isn't the way I would leave it.
Using KDE, Go into the settings manager (usually as root, using `kdesu` from a console) and check the settings for your Login Splash and/or Login Manager. It should be relatively easy to find these settings if you poke around enough.
I'm no longer using KDE, or if I were, I'd trace the steps for you. If you cannot find the right items to fix this, let us know. Someone will help.
Don't know why, but kdesu don't work in my machine. Anyway I know what you are saying. Auto-login was not default - I am too curious and click every option. Now I fix it and everything is ok.
