[ydl-gen] desktop manager resources

[Derick Centeno]

The question of XFCE as an alternative environment has been discussed
within this member list before.  A few have preferred using it to
either KDE or Enlightenment.  My own preference has been to use
Enlightenment exclusively as I found both XFCE and KDE getting in my
way when I want to get something technical done.  I'm partial to the
interface which gets in my way the least as well as performing those
graphic based interface functions which I don't care about, but are
handled sensibly without requiring that I daily manage such minutiae
directly - unless I choose to do so. It is from that perspective that
Enlightenment functions very well, in my view.

Regarding your other question regarding traditional Linux System
Administration you may be aware of various standard tomes available via
Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com.  One online resource I've appreciated
over the years is available from here:

There are other valuable references which are online of course, but the
academic training of this author, Ken Milberg, does not ruin the
insight he offers in addressing real world System Administration tasks
and information requirements.

Other online references which could be useful to you are here:

Remember to also participate on the Yellowdog Board; I've found useful
information there as well.  It is located:

All the best...

==========================
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even
be touched.  They must be felt with the heart. -- Helen Keller

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it or because it is
traditional or because you yourself have imagined it. Do not believe
what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But
whatever after due examination and analysis you find to be conducive to
the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings, that doctrine believe
and cling to and take it as your guide. -- The Buddha

Refránes/Popular sayings:
No hay mal que por bien no venga.
There is no evil out of which good cannot blossom.
