Summary: Buyer be warned!
Comment: This book relates to a thoroughly outdated version of KDE, 1.1. Version 2 is a different world in many respects. Be sure that you're using an archaic version of KDE before you spend money on this book. Otherwise the book might have some kind of historical value I guess. Advice to the author: it's very easy to overuse the word "breathtakingly" when you're writing about software.

Summary: Practical KDE
Comment: Great book for Linux newbies (Ah-hem! - I guess that's ME!) but seems to have enough info for anyone getting up and running with the "K" desktop environment, as well as plenty of tips for the more sopisticated "K" user as well. Mr. Powell's work is such a joy to read, and his sense of humor makes this "getting adquainted" '(ad)venture' with the KDE gui so much more palpable ... a far cry from most modern so-called "introductory" (read: novice) computer manuals....this one has the info without being overly-simplistic.... 5 stars.
Rating: 4
Summary: Practical and humorous
Comment: If you are new to the K Desktop Environment for Unix, this book is an invaluable reference for learning your way around the desktop, customizing the way things look and using the applications that come with it. It also encourages you to get down and dirty with Linux, giving instructions on where to find the latest distributions and cool applications and how to compile and use them. Mr. Powell writes with a dry and sometimes cynical wit, which makes for enjoyable reading.
