This PDF Ebooks covers some of the applications available for the modern Linux desktop. This includes commercial, free and Open Source Software (OSS) applications with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that may also run on other platforms such as commercial UNIX implentations or even Windows. As such, elementary references to open systems approaches, concepts and arguments may also be introduced along with the applications themselves. These discussions go a long way to explaining how Linux, OSS and open system applications are developed, and how they can drastically improve corporate efficiency, reliability and throughput.
Given the aforementioned content, the primarily audience is the contemporary IT professional and corporate desktop user. It is the author’s argument that the modern Linux desktop, which is an “user friendly” and most “cost effective” (using the PC’s economies of scale) version of the longstanding multiuser and network-enabled UNIX(R) operating system, is the most ideal platform for the majority of corporate computing resources. This argument includes the corporate desktop and this document introduces various applications.

Since this PDF Ebooks also includes information on popular Linux desktop applications, the typical desktop user is a secondary audience. The secondary audience should skip appropriate sections he/she has trouble following.
