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.

Where windows has a "start" button in the lower left corner, KDE has a button with a "K" on it.
Many distributions will let you switch between the X window managers in the login process.
On debian distributions you can install kde or gnome by doing a:
sudo apt-get install kde
or
sudo apt-get install gnome
Well I chose to install both KDE and Gnome during the install setup process of Fedora. Actually I'm not sure which I am using, because I have neither the foot or the K. I'm using whatever the default is for Fedora. I have my start menu at the top with a small 'redhat' next to the Applications menu. Which one is this?
Ok, so I figured out how to get into KDE. When you get to the login screen you can go to Sessions and change it to KDE. But how can I default to KDE? On reboot it goes back to Gnome.
