The best and friendly Linux, Ubuntu overview - video tutorial

About Ubuntu Linux has talked to other video tutorials that we have on the site now known as Ubuntu is an operating system completely free and open source.
In today's tutorial I decided to make a tutorial explaining in detail each function and the possibilities that we offer this wonderful operating system.
I can say from the beginning about Ubuntu is that it is very stable, and very customizable. What do I mean by customizable?
Well, for example, we have the opportunity to play with the icons as we want, we can enlarge them, we can even make them huge or we can reduce them, we can position them wherever we want, on panels or on the desktop. Basic Ubuntu comes with 2 dashboards, one positioned "top" (top) and another "bottom" (bottom) each with its roles as follows:

Top panel - here we have the main functions of the control panel, the status of the user who is logged on to the system, network notifications, clock, date, time, we have the possibility to place icons.

Bottom panel - here will be displayed the applications that will be minimized or opened, the desktop switch (virtual workspaces), the trash (trash)

Both the top panel and the bottom can be adjusted or can acquire different functions at our sole discretion, we add features or remove functions very easily, can change the color and transparency. Also we can remove one of the panels and just stick with the one following that tasks which I removed to award a single panel. We can if we want to position each panel on each side of the desktop so up and down and left and right

Obviously these are just some of the many options that we have, not to say that Ubuntu comes already setup with an extraordinary image editor and some very well known GIMP can successfully replace Photoshop in many cases and about Our colleague Dan 4 made a series of video tutorials. For those who need a word processor and work a lot with databases, projects, graphs, statistics, text editor Ubuntu comes with Open Office already installed and ready to work, a great alternative to Microsoft Office. If you do not know how to use Open Office our colleague Dan started a series of tutorials about this wonderful program office.
You should know that ubuntu has not forgotten those who communicate a lot through IM (instant messaging) software, Emphaty offers us a ready multi-protocol software that will allow us to log in to different accounts at once, such as Yahoo, Google Talk, Jaber, ICQ, MSN and the list goes on.
If you are an addict or Express mail client Mozilla Thunderbird Outlock here that Ubuntu comes with a very good mail client, namely Evolution Mail. If you still prefer Mozilla Thunderbird you can install it on this one!
If you are a "devourer" of movies and media files, know that Ubuntu also takes care of them, coming with 2 wonderful software, namely 2 players, one audio and one video. For movies you have the "Movie Player" and for music you have the wonderful "Rhythmbox Music Player"
May already be wondering what else could be missing??
But wait I have not finished! Neither those who download torrents ubuntu not forgotten! You have a very nice and easy to download torrents softulet already installed! Yes, you heard right torrent client already installed (Windows-ists bag bag =))) how you finish installing Ubuntu you can get right to download torrents!
There would be a lot more to say about this wonderful operating system, but unfortunately I don't have enough time or space to do it. Although I would like to stop here with this introductory text, I would still add that Ubuntu also comes with a fairly advanced software to make print screens on portions of desktops defined by us or the entire desktop, we can even use it to schedule a print, more precisely we can set it over how long to print the selected portion or the desktop. Let's not forget those who want to burn CDs with music, movies, software! "Brasero Disc Burner" is already installed and comes to their aid, you can:

- burn audio CDs
- burn data CDs
- burn DVDs with data or movies
- copy CDs
- burn ISO images (bootable CDs)

For those of you who want to manage your photos in a more useful and pleasant way, Ubuntu comes with "F-Spot Photo Manager", if you can't handle the more difficult calculations, you also have a "Calculator". A very interesting thing and a useful thing that I do not want to omit would be "Ubuntu One" which was implemented in Ubuntu with version 9.10 Karmic. It is a 2 Giga online space offered for free that allows you to store files and create folders, to synchronize the files you have on your PC with those stored on "Ubuntu One" or to share files with your friends and your loved ones. In exchange for a small amount of money you can increase your storage space. To benefit from "Ubuntu One" you need an account that you create very easily with a valid email address.
All in all, Ubuntu is all you could want (in my opinion) but you need a LOT of patience and OPENNESS TO LEARN NEW THINGS. I personally am tired of so many restrictions and many shortcomings encountered on windows. In Linux you will never encounter banners stuck around your neck, addware, unwanted toolbars.
Installing software is extremely easy by simply accessing the "Ubuntu Software Center"

That said and paste the pix consumed invite you to follow along my tutorial

  • Indeed, it surpasses it on windows, I had it and I activated those amazing effects, I took it out because I couldn't change the resolution higher than 640! How is it done ?????? and I couldn't even install the driver with the terminal sudo ... etc, si na mers! eu am nvdia!

    • Paul: Indeed, surpasses windows, lam had and I turned those stunning effects, lam out what nuputeam deoare to change resolution higher 640 what is??? Nam nor driver could have done to install sal terminalu sudo ... etc, and it did not work! I NVDIA!  

      I showed in a video tutorial 3 methods of installing the video driver. If you have installed the correct driver you will be able to change the resolution. I showed in this tutorial where the resolution changes. Click on "System" then "Preferences" and choose "Display".

  • Congratulations Adrian !, it's good, little by little Romanians discover other operating systems, as powerful as windowz, it must be said that ubuntu also released ULTIMATE EDITION and arrived with UE at version 2.5, I use UE 2.3 is more stable, it is structured on the 9.4 platform, what can I say is FULL of programs that are more efficient, what I noticed is that they can also use programs taken from KDE, of effects what can I say, they are great! learned at least 8-10 linux distributions (without exaggeration) now I'm "stained" to learn UNIX (Open Solaris, BSD .....) Everything new attracts me like a magnet (honestly I do not like to cap me). I wish you good health to the whole videotutorial.ro team and to make more video tutorials with linux because it is a SUPER GOOD operating system for Rom. mai vb.

    • manu: How do I install photoshop?
      is there any method?  

      If you mean how to install photoshop on linux, is that something does not exist, instead there is a similar program and all so called GIMP performing there on videotutorial.ro-3 4 successor videotutoriale on this topic.

        I personally managed to install and use Adobe Photoshop CS2 (click on the name to view the "proof": D). I used the trial version because I don't hack, but now I don't have a license to use it anymore.
        Why I used CS2 .. ptr ptr lack hardware or CS3 CS4, if I had a more powerful PC l `I would definitely incercat.Despre cs2 photoshop can only say it's a little uratel (that has interface that a little gray on software emulated, that WineHqin rest behave as normal Windows.
        Now I can argue and say that Photoshop Mircea go on linux, not the maximum rate, but open-source platform is continually dezvoltare.Se can do about the same things with Gimp, it all depends on the user's ability to understand how it works with it.
        Linux is not "bau-bau" .. with a little patience and trust in it, beautiful things can be done. Take it slow, as it says everything.
        Hello.

          Hello.  

          Sorry about that. mistake, I do not know, man lives learn how! Honestly I'm still going to use GIMP because it's free.

            Right! Cat live invatat.Eu have something to graphic design and have learned about 2% of matter probably ptr. I'm kind of experience I had my puturos.Prima `with Photoshop, but once I passed I learned about linux Gimp.Sunt many tutorials on the internet about this software and it is about as easy as working with Photoshop he (perhaps more easily I could say).
            For example on Windows to Photoshop to do so I take a whole day on Ubuntu with Gimp's not and plus it took so think it's much more friendly interface so hot, in my opinion.
            Now I can say that I would not open the windows or software of it ptr anything in the world, here's atmosphere ubuntu primitoare.Il recommend.
            All the best.

            I understand that this is why you chose such a name?, Linux is really fascinating, Adrian was right when he says that when you discover (linux) fall in love with him, Ionel have tried NimbleX?, Is a Linux distribution made by a Roman is cool, has 200 MB and a lot of programs rely on Salckware and has KDE interface is so hot when you put it on a disk that you do not believe it's true I've customized it got Slax modules from, and I went about the 500-600MB, not Pidgin but if KDE is also a multi-platform messenger called Kopete and even as good as Pidgin, I am truly glad that the team videotutorial.ro videotutoriale done for. linux. (I sincerely commended to all my friends)

            he did and will do it again, I'm alive, maybe if someone "cracks" me ... the tutorials about Linux would end here ...

          • Adrian:
            made and will make live, if I can "crack" someone would end here ... tutorials about Linux ...Talking American: Over my dead body!  

            Adrian, here I went to linux about two years, at first I was frankly awful hard, but I went on linux.ro (forum) and a little bit, but we all learned sleepless nights do not know everything, but I learned as much as is acceptable for PC. Hobi me is, do not do business on the net (do not know) instead you sit on the net do not work with H2O engines (water) and going pretty well, I hope to make it work better. Now I look forward to watching the next videotutorial that occur on linux because I have to learn a lot of Linux programs that we did not teach them yourself.

            I tried many distros, live cd first, then with the help of Wubi, which is here tutorial.Insa hard drive I installed Ubuntu and him ramas.Despre `KDE desktop applications know ptr. that they `ve button almost all that comes installed default Ubuntu comes with Gnome-desktop, but you can manually install KDE desktop .. and when you log out (log off) you can get from a desktop to another, I mean .. you can have and Gnome and KDE.
            Using Linux for some time, approx. 2 months until then did not know what it is, I tried many softu `s, I will not enumerate them here, but as an idea, you can do everything you do on windows, more or less depending on the user.
            Hopefully the guys will post tutorials here so we do not just have to help each other (ie visitors).

            Ubuntu is easy, do not use the console, almost everything you do in the interface, what to say?, Many run from linux console because the console but is a true friend who never betrays you. Honestly, and I still have to learn but over time accumulate information.
