Since its everyday use that operating system, I decided to give an overview of what it offers the user interface like.

First start after you install Ubuntu met with this kind:

In the upper left corner is the main menu of Ubuntu, which consists of three sections: Programs, local and systemic. Each one has submenus used for rapid navigation and will be shown below. Their nearest analogue functionality is as START menu in Windows. Until this menu are 3 icons for quick launch of the web browser client for e-mail and support for Ubuntu. In the upper right corner is the systematic notification area, clock, indicator for the network, an indicator of sound icon out of the system. Their nearest analogue in Windows e system tray. In the bottom of the screen is an item that makes the appearance and functionality in different and in my opinion, easier than in Windows. This is the taskbar. And primary purpose is to show the list of currently open programs. In this sense, in analogue and Windows task bar-a. In addition to the right and left edge has icons for quick access to Desktop (Desktop) and to clear the trash (Recycle bin in Windows). There is also a icon to switch between so-called. Virtual working panels - which is relatively unknown in the Windows world idea and essentially represents the addition to standard desktop even further such a number (2-16). This allows each to have open programs, thereby avoiding overcharge open applications in the taskbar. Namely the combinations of these elements create a different and unusual species, which would astonished a hardened Windows user. In practice known startovo our bar menu with a list of windows system and the notification area of Windows in Ubuntu is divided into two independent parts. Very little time is needed to become accustomed to this arrangement and to assess lesnotata that it provides. Incidentally, this user is not restricted from changing visual styles without any particular problems may change the type that is most close to that of Windows. Sample this view can be seen below:

But to get back to a detailed examination of the main menu of Ubuntu. Below you can see the contents of the first part - Programs:

As shown in the menu programs are divided into categories of scope. This method of distribution is very easy and clear to the consumer because it allows the practice only 2 mouse clicks to get started and desired by his administration.

The second component of systematic Ubuntu menu is the menu places:

It collected the main places for navigation computer - home folder, desktop, network, etc., and a list of recently viewed files. Here again is unclear easy navigation to each section, which saves minimize unnecessary clicks with the mouse.

And thirdly in the main menu, Ubuntu is a menu SYSTEM:

In this menu were collected all the settings of the operating system. It is an analogue, though not completely accurate known by the Windows Control Panel. However, its structure is more special, again designed for ease of the user. It has two submenus. One is named Settings and it contains all the settings of Ubuntu that are considered safe, ie confusion may lead to the collapse of the system. These are settings such as: visual themes, choice of mouse, keyboard setup sounds, wallpapers, screen resolution, etc. The second submenu called administration of the system. It gathered those critical of UBUNTU settings, which configure incorrectly may result in failure or loss of data. Running prilozheniyata of this menu is going after an administrator password. Here are collected settings such as: network Add / Remove software, file systems, language support, etc. Besides this division of the settings you have in GNU / Linux world for years. Only now his clone like you see in Windows Vista, although there is not so clear distinction.

In the most general terms I think it shows the initial appearance of newly installed Ubuntu that each new user should be expected. Insist however that its capacity for change are much greater than those we used in Windows. In this sense displayed screens do not give Ubuntu in full glory. To demonstrate the above, below, I put screen on your desktop:

With that I can finish this mini-review of the working environment of Ubuntu. Soon expect new emphasis on the use of some of the applications available in Ubuntu, and possibly show a killer 3D interface of Vista - Beryl. But this - another time.
