My Ubuntu Linux Desktop
Let me introduce you to my desktop today. Its an Ubuntu Linux (version 7.0.4, codename "Feisty Fawn") system. I've been using this Ubuntu installation for a few months now, and I'm very happy with both the ease of use and power.
And it looks so good, here's a screen shot (click to enlarge).
If you are unfamiliar with Gnome Linux desktop, they you will notice some unique features:
- Multiple panels(top & bottom)
- There are 5 desktop pages (bottom right)
- There's a host of applets added (like weather, mail, network etc) on the top panel
- No Start Menu - Actually there are three menus on the top panel - Applications(links to all apps), Places (quick links to special folders and drives), System (Administration links).
Applications in the screen shot are:
- Quake 2
- Openoffice Writer
- Google Picasa
- Mozilla Firefox
- Gnome Terminal(minimized)
