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.

Finally, a working xsnow for Gnome, KDE, etc. Based on the original xsnow-1.42 created by Rick Jansen, after the xsnow-2019 conference in Antas (Spain) we now have available a xsnow that works on many desktop environments, even Raspian. By request of many beta-testers, a graphical front end has been created as well.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Over the last couple of weeks I've been running xsnow daily and your improvements are greatly appreciated! Much better, IMHO, than the original, which I ran a few days ago so as to make a comparison.
Again, many thanks
and
Happy New Year!
I notice these are rather old posts, but just for the record xsnow (version 1.42) seems to run fine on my Slackware 14.2 i386 system for Fluxbox, WindowMaker, X Afterstep, and Xfce; but as others have noted, not under KDE. However I'm happy that xsnow still well supported under Slackware and it confirms for me that the OS is true to its roots despite embracing newer features.
Just FYI, Xsnow-2.0.15 runs perfectly on kde-4 and 5, and Xfce-4.12 and 4.14.
I know "the season" is over, but I'm still running it and have been looking to see if there is a way to have it start automatically, like a screensaver, when I'm not at the computer.
