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 just downloaded and installed Ximians Desktop 2...That is one NICE looking desktop! BUT!, Now I have no idea where to change all my settings such as screensaver, themes, colors, fonts, etc....Any ideas? Do I now need to download and install ANOTHER piece of software? I went back and downloaded/installed "Control Center" thinking that might be it, but after it installed, it's no where to be found.....
I always had the top desktop menu enabled and it was easy to find in there. If the directions from contrasutra don't help, try right clicking on your existing panel, then add panel, then try to find the desktop menu.
Then, I think the theme/look and feel settings are under the second menu from the right (actions? Haven't used Ximian in a while).
