Welcome to the Guided Tour around the <phrase>Xubuntu</phrase> Desktop. This guide will take you on a trip around your new desktop, show you the most important places, introduce you to some of the included programs, and explain how to achieve basic tasks. It is recommended to have an actual <phrase>Xubuntu</phrase> system ready and to try out the stuff described while reading this document.
353
</para>
354
<para>

The readers are generally assumed to have access to the Internet, since this guide will often just provide links to wiki pages and to other documentation on the web.

When your computer has finished booting up, and after entering your login data, you will arrive at the Xubuntu desktop. It comes with many features that make your life easy, and it is well worth the time to get to know your way around it.
361
</para>
362
<para>
363
As you can see, your desktop has two panels: one on top, and one on the bottom of the screen.
364
</para>
365
<sect2>
366
<title>Top Panel</title>
367
<para>
368
The top panel is mainly used for starting applications and navigating to different places on your computer. It also comes with a logout button, system tray and a clock.
369
</para>
370
<para>
371
Clicking on <guimenuitem>Applications</guimenuitem> will open the system menu, offering you many choices of applications to start. Note that you can also access your Settings, Help, and a logout dialog from the <guimenuitem>Applications</guimenuitem> menu.
372
</para>
373
<para>
374
Clicking on the <emphasis>logout button</emphasis> (looks like a power-off button) will bring up a menu with choices for logging out, shutting down, rebooting, and, depending on your hardware, suspending or hibernating your computer.
375
</para>
376
<note>
377
<para>
378
Use the checkbox <option>Save session for future logins</option> to have all the currently running programs auto-started at the time of your next login.
379
</para>
380
</note>
381
<para>
382
Next to the clock is a small area called the <emphasis>system tray</emphasis>. Some programs will show up as a small icon in the system tray while they are running in the background. The system tray is also used for informing you about updates to your system. If such an update becomes available, you will see a small speech bubble pop up and giving you the necessary information to keep your system up to date and secure.
383
</para>
384
<para>
385
Besides that, the top panel is quite empty. It has lots of additional room to add items besides the browser launcher. You may want to go ahead and <emphasis>add some custom items</emphasis> to it. Right-click on the panel, and choose <option>Add New Item</option>. Choose one of the many panel plugins available, or create a custom program launcher. The item will be permanently attached to your panel. Anything you add here will be reachable with just a single click, directly from your panel.

</para>

<title>Bottom Panel</title>
390
<para>
391
This panel contains a show-desktop button, a tasklist, and a pager.
392
</para>
393
<para>
394
The <emphasis>show-desktop button</emphasis> will minimise all applications to clear your view onto the desktop. This is very helpful in case you are trying to access icons on the desktop and need to get all the windows out of the way.
395
</para>
396
<para>
397
The <emphasis>taskbar</emphasis> will have an entry for every window that is currently open. Use it to quickly change between running applications.
398
</para>
399
<para>
400
The <emphasis>pager</emphasis> allows you to navigate between the different desks you use. Note that small icons on the pager give an indication about the current windows on the different desks.

Using the scroll-bar on your mouse (if it has one) will allow you to switch between the different desks. This does the same thing as clicking on the pager in the lower panel, but is usually quicker, since you (probably) do not have to move the mouse.

The <emphasis>shortcut pane</emphasis> provides shortcuts to different folders on your system. The first shortcut will lead to your home directory, the directory you store all your personal data, and will therefore have the name of the current user. That directory will probably be empty. The second shortcut will take you to the root of your filesystem - you may want to explore it a bit, even though it will be confusing to you if you are new to Linux. Just click on the different folders and see what's inside. When you're done, return to your home directory by clicking on the top shortcut.

Add your own shortcuts by simply dragging folders to the shortcut pane. This will allow you to access important folders instantly!

The <emphasis>pathbar</emphasis> will always show you the path you took to get to the place you are currently at. You can click on any pathbar icon to change to the directory it represents. Note that right-clicking on pathbar icons will also bring up a pop-up window with some options.

When inserting CDs, floppys, or similar into your computer, or hooking up removable media like a musicplayer or a USB-stick, it will be set up automatically by your system. After inserting a CD into your CD Drive, you will see a new shortcut in the left pane of the <application>File Manager</application>, representing the CD. Clicking on it will open the contents of the CD in the main area, just like clicking on a regular folder. To remove the CD, right-click on the shortcut, and choose <option>eject</option>.

678
<para>There are thousands of programs available to install on Ubuntu. These programs are stored in software archives (<emphasis>repositories</emphasis>) and are made freely available for installation over the Internet. This makes it very easy to install new programs in Linux, and it is also very secure, because each program you install is built specially for Ubuntu and checked before it is installed. To organise the software, Ubuntu repositories are categorised into four groups: <emphasis>Main</emphasis>, <emphasis>Restricted</emphasis>, <emphasis>Universe</emphasis>, and <emphasis>Multiverse</emphasis>.</para>

<para>The rationale used to determine which software goes into which category is based on two factors:</para>

<para>The standard Ubuntu Install CD contains some software from the <emphasis>Main</emphasis> and <emphasis>Restricted</emphasis> categories. Once your system is made aware of the Internet-based locations for these repositories, many more software programs are made available for installation.
