<title>Introduction</title>
<body>
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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.

<title>Nothing is automated at first</title>
<body>
+
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+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.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <e>Removable media</e> covers the automated mounting of removable media
like
+ floppies, CD/DVDs, USB storage devices, camera's, ... on your system.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <e>Network detection</e> 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.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <e>Data synchronisation</e> 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.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <e>Power consumption</e> 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.
+ </li>
+</ul>
