In very basic terms there are two primary elemnts to the modern Linux operating system. At the heart of a typical Linux distribution is the Linux kernel and associated tools and utilities that provide a command-line based interface to the operating system. Secondly, there is the graphical desktop environment which provides a friendly interface to the user. The two predominant desktop environments available today are GNOME and KDE. This book covers the GNOME desktop within the context of the Fedora Linux distribution.

The objective of the book is to provide the reader with the necessary information to use, customize and configure the GNOME desktop on a Fedora system. This book is intended as a companion to the Fedora Linux Essentials book which covers the use and maintenance of the underlying Fedora operating system.

This book is designed to provide everything a user needs to know to customize, configure and use the GNOME desktop on a Fedora Linux system.
