If you are after more detail, there are excellent resources available at \url{http://help.ubuntu.com}. Ubuntu's built-in system documentation is also very useful for accessing help on specific topics, and can be found by clicking \menu{System\then Help and Support} in Ubuntu. If something isn't covered here, chances are you will find the information you are looking for in one of those locations. We will try our best to include links to more detailed help wherever we can.

Linux was designed from the ground up with security and hardware compatibility in mind, and is currently one of the most popular Unix-based operating system. One of the benefits of Linux is that it is incredibly flexible and can be configured to run on almost any device\dash from the smallest micro-computers and cellphones to larger super-computers. Initially, Unix was entirely command line-based until Graphical User Interfaces (\glspl{GUI}) began to emerge in the early 1990s.

Before you decide whether or not Ubuntu is right for you, we suggest giving yourself some time to grow accustomed to the way things are done \dash and expect to find that some things are different to what you are used to. We also suggest taking the following into account:

All \acronym{GUI}-based operating systems use a \emph{desktop environment}. Desktop environments encompass many things, such as the look and feel of your system, as well as how the desktop is organized, laid out, and navigated by the user. In Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu), there are a number of desktop environments available for use. One of the most popular desktop environments is called \acronym{GNOME}, which is used by default in Ubuntu. \acronym{KDE}, \acronym{XFCE}, and \acronym{LXDE} are other popular desktop environments (used in Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu, respectively), and there are many more. As Ubuntu is based on \acronym{GNOME}, we will limit our discussion in this guide to exploring your \acronym{GNOME} desktop.

On the right side of this panel you will find the \emph{notification area}, which is similar in function to the ``system tray'' in Windows, or the ``menu extras'' area on the Mac \acronym{OS~X} menubar. Next to this is the \gls{MeMenu}, which will display your username (the name you entered during installation) and is used to update social network sites like Twitter and Facebook as well as set your Instant Messaging status in \application{Empathy}. Finally, on the far right of the panel is the session menu, which provides menu options for locking your computer, logging out, restarting, or shutting down completely.

When the calender is expanded there is a button labeled \button{Locations}, which will open a small world map when clicked. Here you can further set up your location preferences by clicking \button{Edit}. In the window that appears, click \button{Add}, then enter your location in the text field. If you live in a major city it may be on the list already; if not, you can enter your latitude and longitude manually (try searching online if you don't have this information). Make sure your time zone is selected, then click \button{OK} to return to the preferences screen.

Feel free to explore the other options available under the \button{General} and \button{Weather} tabs if you like, then click \button{Close} at the bottom when you are done. If weather information is available for your city, you will now see the current temperature displayed alongside the date and time in the notification area.

\marginnote{The \acronym{GNOME} desktop environment used in Ubuntu can provide two or more ``virtual desktops,'' or \textbf{workspaces}. Using these workspaces can reduce clutter by opening windows on separate desktops, without needing a separate monitor. For example, in order to organize your activities you may have your email open in one workspace and a text document you are working on in another. To switch workspaces, simply click on the boxes in the \textbf{workspace switcher} or use the keyboard shortcut \keystroke{Ctrl+Alt+Left arrow} or \keystroke{Ctrl+Alt+Right arrow} to switch workspaces quickly.}
