7.3.1. Introduction
The average user may not care too much about his login settings,
but Linux offers a wide variety of flashy window and desktop
managers for use under X, the graphical environment. The use and
configuration of window managers and desktops is straightforward
and may even resemble the standard MS Windows, MacIntosh or UNIX
CDE environment, although many Linux users prefer flashier desktops
and fancier window managers. We won't discuss the user specific
configuration here. Just experiment and read the documentation
using the built-in Help functions these managers provide and you
will get along fine.
We will, however, take a closer look at the underlying
system.
