lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:At first glance, you will notice many similarities between Ubuntu and other operating systems such as Windows or Mac \acronym{OS~X}. This is because they are all based on the concept of a graphical user interface (\gls{GUI})\dash that is, you use your mouse to navigate the desktop, open programs, move files, and perform most other tasks. In short, things are visually oriented, which means that it's important for you to become familiar with where and what to click in Ubuntu. lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:First, you will notice there are two \emph{panels}\dash one at the top of your desktop and one at the bottom. A panel is a bar that sits on the edge of your screen and contains various \emph{applets}. \marginnote{Everything on a panel is an \gls{applet}, even the main menu.} These applets provide useful functions such as running programs, viewing the time, or accessing the main menu. lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:Starting from the left, you will see three menu headings\dash \button{Applications}, \button{Places}, and \button{System}\dash followed by two program icons. The first of these icons will open the \application{Firefox} web browser (see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information), and the next will open the \application{Ubuntu Help Center}. \marginnote{The \application{Ubuntu Help Center} is a highly useful resource. It provides a wealth of information about your Ubuntu system, and is always at your fingertips by simply clicking this panel icon (or navigating to \menu{System \then Help and Support}).} lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:programs will also place an icon in the notification area when you open them. lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:Ubuntu uses most of the bottom panel to display a list of all programs or windows that are currently open. These appear as horizontal buttons which can be clicked to \emph{minimize} or \emph{restore} the corresponding windows (see \seclink{sec:managing-windows} below for more information). lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:When you open a program in Ubuntu (such as a web browser or a text editor\dash see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information on using programs)\dash a \emph{window} will appear on your desktop. If you have used another operating system before, such as Microsoft Windows or Mac \acronym{OS~X}, you are probably familiar with the concept of a ``window''\dash the box that appears on your screen when you start a program. In Ubuntu, the top part of a window (the \emph{titlebar}) will have the title of the window in the center, and three buttons in the top left corner. From left to right, these buttons \emph{close}, \emph{minimize}, and \emph{maximize} the window. Additionally, you can right-click anywhere on the titlebar for a list of other window management options. lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:\noindent To \emph{close} a window, click on the ``$\times$'' in the upper left corner of the window\dash this will be the first button on the left-hand side. Immediately to the right of this is a downward-pointing arrow that is used to \emph{minimize} the window to the bottom panel of your desktop. Once minimized the window will no longer be visible, but its corresponding button in the bottom panel will remain, indicating the program is still running in the background. Clicking this button will \emph{restore} the window to its original position. Finally, the right-most button of this group will \gls{maximize} the window, making it fill the entire screen. Clicking this button again will return the window to its original size. lucid-e2/around-desktop/around-desktop.tex:\marginnote{You may find that there are programs in the \menu{Applications} menu that you don't use frequently, or just don't want to be displayed on the menu.

Running Ubuntu from the Live \acronym{CD} also occupies a large portion of your computer's memory, which would usually be available for programs to access when Ubuntu is running from your hard drive. The Live \acronym{CD} experience will therefore feel slightly slower than it does when Ubuntu is actually installed on your computer. However, running Ubuntu from the \acronym{CD} is a great way to test things out and allows you to try the default applications, browse the Internet, and get a general feel for the operating system. It's also useful for checking that your computer hardware works properly in Ubuntu and that there are no major compatibility issues. lucid-e2/installation/installation.tex:Once Ubuntu is up and running, you will see the default desktop.

Computer users can modify open source software to suit their individual needs, share it, improve it, or translate it into other languages \dash provided they release these modifications so others can do the same. In fact, the terms of many open source licensing agreements make it illegal not to do so. lucid-e2/learning-more/learning-more.tex:Because open source software is developed by large communities of programmers distributed throughout the globe, it benefits from rapid development cycles and speedy security releases (in the event that someone discovers bugs in the software). In other words, open source software is updated, enhanced, and made more secure every day as programmers all over the world continue to improve it. lucid-e2/learning-more/learning-more.tex:Ubuntu is one of several popular operating systems based on Linux (an open source operating system).
