Think of a microsoft oriented person, who used to work with MS desktops and
servers, and decides to learn linux.
He picks up a book about using linux as a server (web, ftp, mail,
firewall,etc.) which teaches him the basic work
with linux and how to specifically configure the servers.
Now he wants to use linux as his desktop, but he runs into many problems,
which are not always technical.
something like that?

What exactly are you looking for that is desktop-specific? I can't
think of many "advanced" functions that are only relevant to desktop
machines but not to servers, unless you are looking specifically for
Quake, video editing and the like. With both servers and desktops you
need to know how manage a filesystem, configure networking and the
such -- they are mostly the same for servers and desktops. So I
suppose the guides and the HOWTOs from the LDP at
http://www.linuxdoc.org could be very useful. Some companies put them
in print from time to time.
