+After a exaggerating first experience with the graphical Linux environment, many +users ask "What's next?" They don't know what tools exist and just playing +around, clicking on icons, doesn't help you find out what's possible. +

+ +

+Working well with Linux means that you know what tools to use. In this section, +we'll give a head start on various tools and projects. These tools aren't +mandatory, but give a nice idea on Linux' possibilities. +

+When you first use your system, you'll notice that you need to perform various +steps manually which could be done automatically. Gentoo Linux doesn't put its +development effort in making a system userfriendly in the sense of allowing +everything. Not only can it cause instability on some systems, far from all +users appreciate us touching the configuration of their system and it might +cause security issues on some environments. +

+ +

+So, if you want certain tasks automated, you'll need to lend your system a hand +at first. But you can't help your system if you don't know what you want. Next +is a list of automation tasks we'll cover in the next few sections. This list is +far from complete, but should give you a good impression on the possibilities. +Ask around on our IRC channel or mailinglist if you want to automate other +tasks. +

+ +

+ Removable media covers the automated mounting of removable media like + floppies, CD/DVDs, USB storage devices, camera's, ... on your system. +
+ Network detection explains how to configure your network card + (wireless or not) to automatically discover networks and run a certain + configuration based on the network it finds. +
+ Data synchronisation describes how to synchronise files and + directories on your system with other systems, laptops or PDAs, and also the + synchronisation of your journal, address books, etc. +
+ Power consumption informs you how you can decrease the power + consumption of your system (probably a laptop) by automatically putting the + hard disk to sleep, disable wireless if it isn't needed, adjust the screen + settings to use less power, etc. +
