Introduction to Linux: Desktop Environments :-
| Quote: |
A while back, we posted a brief Introduction to Linux article that was well-received, and thank you to all who Dugg the article. I have been very busy since so, as a follow-up, this is a long time coming. I apologize for the delay, but hopefully the Linux newbies who found my first article useful will find this to be a good next step.
I've discussed what GNU/Linux is (commonly referred to as Linux), what it represents, why people use it and why more should. I've even touched on the subject that you can do almost anything in Linux that you may have taken for granted as being a purely Windows (or Apple) related functionality. For those who took my advice and played around with a Live CD, it must be like being lost in a foreign nation. Where's the Start button? Where's Windows Manager?
You undoubtedly notice that, although the functionality seems to overall be similar (with a few minor exceptions), everything seems to use a different name and/or is in a different place. If you've explored more than one distribution, this may even seem to be the case between Linux distributions. I'll be covering the more mainstream desktop environments, as well as suggested programs to replace the ones you've come to rely on in Windows |
