\marginnote{If you are installing on a new machine with no operating system, you will not get the first option. The upgrade option is only available if you are upgrading from a previous version of Ubuntu.} This next step is often referred to as \gls{partitioning}. Partitioning is the process of allocating portions of your hard drive for a specific purpose. When you create a \gls{partition}, you are essentially dividing up your hard drive into sections that will be used for different types of information. Partitioning can sometimes seem complex to a new user; however, it does not have to be. In fact, Ubuntu provides you with some options that greatly simplify this process. The Ubuntu installer will automatically detect any existing operating system installed on your machine, and present installations options based on your system. Not all of the options listed below may appear:

\marginnote{Ubuntu 11.10 has an emphasis on ``social from the start'' and features social network integration in the desktop for sites like Twitter and Facebook.} Initially, you may notice many similarities between Ubuntu and other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or Mac \acronym{OS X}. This is because they are all based on the concept of a graphical user interface (\gls{GUI})\dash \ie, you use your mouse to navigate the desktop, open applications, 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.

After installation and log in, you will see the \application{Unity} desktop. Let's explore the default layout that is in front of you. This initial view is comprised of the \seclink{sec:desktop-background} and two \emph{bars}\dash one at the top of your desktop, \seclink{sec:top-bar}, and one on the left, \seclink{sec:launcher}. \index{Unity!overview} \subsection{The Desktop Background}\label{sec:desktop-background} Below the \menu{Top Bar} is an image that covers the entire desktop. This is the desktop background or wallpaper and the one you see in front of you belongs to the default Ubuntu 11.10 theme known as \emph{Ambiance.} To learn more about customizing your desktop including changing your background, see the section on \seclink{sec:customizing-desktop} below.
