Key tools for every day use

There are an awful lot of books on the market that talk about Open Source operating systems, explaining them in all of their technical glory. But once you get past the excitement of all that, you have to face the fact that you've got a computer in front of you, and you have to do something with it. That is where Linux Power Tools comes in: it is the users' guide for *using* computers -- everything from configuring desktops to setting up your sound system (and MP3 players)to security systems to SAMBA (working with windows). It is well-written and clear, and a great point-of-departure for folks who want to make Linux a productive part of their daily lives.
