Doug,

Ahhh!  Very nice.  What is really needed is a book that tells me what is
in my linux distribution.  Sort of one page per program with a brief run
down of features.  So far I mostly find stuff when people say "try this". 
The book should have chapters by type of program. Editors, graphics,
internet, utilities, ... I suppose that too is in my linux distribution,
if I could just find it.
