Tells where to stick your files
In the world of graphics, one does not want to be stuck with just a command line. Break out of the restraint with KDE. I have used CDE for many years. However, the opportunity came to use KDE and it is easy to fall in love with.
This book is like the 101 of KDE telling all the little secrets of how it works and how to get started. It even comes with a CD of goodies to get you up and running in the 24 hours implied in the title.
The subject of KDE is too large for an in-depth review so I will just cover the 24 hours.
Hour 1 Understanding the KDE Project
Hour 2 Installing KDE from Scratch
Hour 3 Starting and Exiting KDE
Hour 4 Reviewing the KDE Setup
Hour 5 Exploring the Desktop
Hour 6 Managing the KDE Environment
Hour 7 Configuring KDE Options
Hour 8 Using KDE Themes
Hour 9 Managing Files in KDE
Hour 10 Learning More KGE File Management
Hour 11 System Administration for KDE
Hour 12 Using KDE Utilities
Hour 13 Managing Network Connections in KDE
Hour 14 Managing Printing in KDE
Hour 15 Accessing the internet from KDE
Hour 16 Using Command Line in KDE
Hour 17 Using Graphics Utilities in KDE
Hour 18 Using KDE Text Utilities
Hour 19 Using KDE Business Tools
Hour 20 Using KDE for Entertainment
Hour 21 Finding and Installing Additional KDE Applications
Hour 22 Integrating Non-KDE Applications into KDE
Hour 23 Getting Started with KDE Development
Hour 24 Developing for KDE
Also, a good section comparing KDE to GNOME.
All in all, this is a good starting place short of taking a formal course.
