Ubuntu Linux Desktop Components - Main Ubuntu Linux Desktop Menu Headings

The Ubuntu Linux desktop looks similar to a Windows desktop, and is also similar to working at a Windows desktop - but it's much better!

As with Windows, there are menus available, but the Ubuntu Menu names are across the top of the screen.

Ubuntu Linux Desktop Main Headings:

The main Ubuntu Linux menu headings across the top of the desktop are:

Applications, Places, System

The Applications menu has several sub-menus, such as:

Accessories, Games, Graphics, Internet, Office (for the Open Office Suite), Sound & Video

Use the Applications menu to run lots of different types of Linux application software programs, such as: Calculator, Dictionary, Manage Print Jobs, email, browser, sound recorder and music player.

The Applications menu also lets you run the famous

Open Office Suite of programs, such as: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, and Base.

Ubuntu Linux Training Tips: In addition to the Linux application software programs that come installed on an Ubuntu system, you can also install thousands of other Linux programs.

The Places menu lets you look at the files and folders on your Ubuntu Linux desktop system - and on your network server, if you have one - and have "permissions" to access the data files on the server.

The Places menu has submenus like: Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos

And the submenus on the Places menu work just like the Windows folders named: My Documents, My Music, My Pictures And My Videos

And the System menu lets you:

specify preferences settings for your Ubuntu desktop system

run GUI "point-and-click" utilities for system administration

get help and technical support for your Ubuntu system

find out more about the GNOME desktop

and learn more about Ubuntu Linux.
