Introduction

Applets are icons that reside in your panels for launching specific applications and sometimes offering additional functionality.

There are many applets available not only in the default Ubuntu installation, but some extras, also. What follows is an explanation of how to use applets and an alphabetical list of the key ones that are available in Ubuntu (see also: UbuntuHelp:Software).

(Note: this is currently a work in progress, so more programs will be added)

Using Applets

Assuming you've installed the required applet, or it's part of the default Ubuntu installation, all you need to do is right-click on an empty part of a panel to bring up a menu. Select 'Add to Panel...', to bring up the following choices:







Drag one of the icons to a panel and drop it in there. That's it! (Note: there are, of course, more applets that are available than are listed in these screenshots)

FLOSS: Background and Theory

To better appreciate your software and how the world of FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) works - in development, support, communities, and so on - it helps to have some understanding of its background, its theoretical underpinnings and how it works in practice.

The following links are a start to help get you towards that better understanding.

• The Principle of Free Software

• Essays on the Philosophy of Free Software

• opensource.org

• The Cathedral and the Bazaar - An example of how FLOSS works in practise

• Wikipedia, 'Linux'

• The Halloween Documents - What Microsoft thought about FLOSS...behind closed doors. Some of the beliefs that non-Linux computer users have about Linux are traceable to Microsoft's campaigns against Linux, which promoted much information that has been widely discredited. This site provides some insight into how anti-Linux advocacy works.
