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.

When I try to compile the idesk-0.5.5 I get these annoying massages:
#make
for dir in src; do cd $dir; make all; cd ..; done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gotzev/FC1FluxBox/idesk1/src'
g++ -g -W `pkg-config gdk-2.0 gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0 librsvg-2.0 --cflags` -c XDesktopContainer.cpp -o XDesktopContainer.o
Package libcroco was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcroco.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libcroco', required by 'librsvg', not found

I've read about the same problem, but nobody gives the answer that works for me.
I'm using Fedora Core 1 and have installed almost everything from the distribution - it
still doesn't work. Please help, I'm using linux at my office so I need desktop icons for the
colleagues that are new to linux.

Missing some dependencies. I suggest installing some of those.
