+<p> |
| 37 |
+After a exaggerating first experience with the graphical Linux environment, many |
| 38 |
+users ask "What's next?" They don't know what tools exist and just playing |
| 39 |
+around, clicking on icons, doesn't help you find out what's possible. |
| 40 |
+</p> |
| 41 |
+ |
| 42 |
+<p> |
| 43 |
+Working well with Linux means that you know what tools to use. In this section, |
| 44 |
+we'll give a head start on various tools and projects. These tools aren't |
| 45 |
+mandatory, but give a nice idea on Linux' possibilities. |

<title>Nothing is automated at first</title> |
| 80 |
<body> |
| 81 |
+ |
| 82 |
+<p> |
| 83 |
+When you first use your system, you'll notice that you need to perform various |
| 84 |
+steps manually which could be done automatically. Gentoo Linux doesn't put its |
| 85 |
+development effort in making a system userfriendly in the sense of allowing |
| 86 |
+everything. Not only can it cause instability on some systems, far from all |
| 87 |
+users appreciate us touching the configuration of their system and it might |
| 88 |
+cause security issues on some environments. |
| 89 |
+</p> |
| 90 |
+ |
| 91 |
+<p> |
| 92 |
+So, if you want certain tasks automated, you'll need to lend your system a hand |
| 93 |
+at first. But you can't help your system if you don't know what you want. Next |
| 94 |
+is a list of automation tasks we'll cover in the next few sections. This list is |
| 95 |
+far from complete, but should give you a good impression on the possibilities. |
| 96 |
+Ask around on our IRC channel or mailinglist if you want to automate other |
| 97 |
+tasks. |
| 98 |

| 99 |

| 100 |
+<ul> |
| 101 |
+ <li> |
| 102 |
+ <e>Removable media</e> covers the automated mounting of removable media like |
| 103 |
+ floppies, CD/DVDs, USB storage devices, camera's, ... on your system. |
| 104 |
+ </li> |
| 105 |
+ <li> |
| 106 |
+ <e>Network detection</e> explains how to configure your network card |
| 107 |
+ (wireless or not) to automatically discover networks and run a certain |
| 108 |
+ configuration based on the network it finds. |
| 109 |
+ </li> |
| 110 |
+ <li> |
| 111 |
+ <e>Data synchronisation</e> describes how to synchronise files and |
| 112 |
+ directories on your system with other systems, laptops or PDAs, and also the |
| 113 |
+ synchronisation of your journal, address books, etc. |
| 114 |
+ </li> |
| 115 |
+ <li> |
| 116 |
+ <e>Power consumption</e> informs you how you can decrease the power |
| 117 |
+ consumption of your system (probably a laptop) by automatically putting the |
| 118 |
+ hard disk to sleep, disable wireless if it isn't needed, adjust the screen |
| 119 |
+ settings to use less power, etc. |
