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.

login manager in the controll panel vs login screen in the start menu under system settings. i dont see where the login manager settings get used. its not contolling anything for me. the login screen is though. im running kde on redhat 8.0.
im confused what does the login manager do. its not getting used on my system.
In Control Panel, are you selecting Administrator Mode (probably bottom right hand corner) before making changes?
What exactly do you want to "control"?
well like i said if i go into login manager there is appearance, font, background, session, user, convenience options none of which get used on my login. where can i go to see the effects of any changes i make to login manager. i don't see any changes. is there different login managers or something.
That's a redhat bug really, the KDE Control panel will configure the KDE login manager, but RedHat uses the GNOME login manager. If you want to configure the GNOME login manager, use the provided redhat tools in K/System Settings.
Note in GNOME (which redhat do better integration for it seems) there is no such control panel applet
