The KDE and Gnome desktops have developed into mature operating
environments. These technologies not only act as interfaces between
the user, the powerful Linux kernel and GNU operating system, but
they do so in a fun and intuitive way. Many users are content with
the tools and facilities included with these desktops, but--for
those who are ready to probe a little deeper--much more
functionality can be found by going under the hood.
With hacks that any user can follow, "Linux Desktop Hacks"
demonstrates how easy it is to modify Linux to suit your desires.
The book is packed with tips on customizing and improving the
interface, boosting performance, administering your desktop, and
generally making the most out of what X, KDE, Gnome, and the
console have to offer.
From the practical to the whimsical, and some things you never
thought of trying, the hacks in the book include the following, and
more:
Kill and Resurrect the Master Boot Record
