[TriLUG] Book recommendations

[Tom Eisenmenger]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some book recommendations for newbies, preferably not 
geared towards a particular distro.  I'd like the book to have a good 
introduction to Linux file structure and directories and a good overview 
of KDE and/or GNOME (I still haven't decided which I prefer).  Coverage 
of alternative desktops (IceWM, etc.) would be a bonus as would a series 
of popular "how to's" ("Linux Garage" seems to do this well, I think, 
but I base that claim on a 5-minute perusal in a bookstore).

Thanks!

Tom
