Web server iis - CHAPTER 7 BOOTING UBUNTU FOR THE FIRST
CHAPTER 7 BOOTING UBUNTU FOR THE FIRST TIME If you want to start the web browser or e-mail client (arguably two of the most popular programs offered by Ubuntu), you can click their icons on the desktop, just to the right of the menus at the top of the screen (see Figure 7-4). At the top right of every program window under Ubuntu, you ll see the familiar Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons, albeit with a slightly different look and feel than you re used to. Clicking Close will end each program, as in Windows. Working with Virtual Desktops Windows works on the premise of everything taking place on top of a desktop. When you start a new program, it runs on top of the desktop, effectively covering up the desktop. In fact, all programs are run on this desktop, so it can get a bit confusing when you have more than a couple of programs running at the same time. Which Microsoft Word window contains the document you re working on, rather than the one you ve opened to take notes from? Where is that My Computer window you were using to copy files? Ubuntu overcomes this problem by having more than one desktop area. By using the Workspace Switcher tool, located at the bottom right of the desktop, you can switch between four virtual desktops. This is best explained by a demonstration. 1. Make sure that you re currently on the first virtual desktop (click the leftmost square on the Workspace Switcher) and start up the web browser by clicking its icon at the top of the screen (the globe icon located to the right of the menus). 2. Click the second square on the Workspace Switcher. This will switch you to a clean desktop, where no programs are running desktop number two. 3. Start up the file browser by selecting the Places . Home menu option. A file browser window appears. 4. Click the first square in the Workspace Switcher again. You should switch back to the desktop that is running the web browser. 5. Click the second square, and you ll switch back to the other desktop, which is running the file browser. Tip Right-clicking any of the program entries in the Panel will bring up a menu where you can move a program from one virtual desktop to another. Just select Move to Another Workspace. See how it works? You can create more than a couple virtual desktops as many as 36! To set the number of workspaces, right-click the Workspace Switcher and select Preferences. In the window that appears, click the up arrow next to the Number of Workspaces entry, as shown in Figure 7-6. You might choose to have fewer than four virtual desktops. For example, some people use only two: one main desktop and one spare, to take the excess when the main desktop gets full.
