Desktop
Edition
With
Ubuntu
Desktop
Edition
you
can
surf
the
web,

email,

images
and

more.

a
fast

graphical

right

25
minutes.

Desktop

When
you
start
your
system
for
the
first
time
you'll

a
desktop
that
is
clean

icons,
and
a
default
theme
that
is
easy
on
the
eye.

for
you.

A

user
interface

feature
set
that

similar
to
other
office
suites,
and
includes
all
the
key
desktop
applications
you
need,
such

quick
memo,
powerful
enough
to
create
complete
books
with
contents,
diagrams,
indexes,
etc.
You're

to
concentrate
on
your
message
-
while
Word
Processor
makes

great.
The
Wizards
feature
takes
all
the
hassle
out
of
producing
standard
documents
such
as
letters,
faxes,
agendas,
minutes,
or
carrying
out
more
complex
tasks
such
as
mail
merges.
Spreadsheet
is
the
programme
you've
always
wanted.
Newcomers
find
it
intuitive
and
easy
to
learn;
professional
data
miners
and
number
crunchers
will
appreciate
the
comprehensive
range
of
advanced
functions.
Of
course,
you
are
free
to
use
your
old
Microsoft
Excel
spreadsheets,
or
save
your
work
in
Excel
format
for
sending
to
people
who
still
use
Microsoft
products.
If
all
they
want
to
see
is
your
results,
then
use
Portable
Document
Format
(.pdf)
-
no
need
to
buy
any
extra
software.
Presentation
is
an
outstanding
tool
for
creating
effective
multimedia
presentations.

art,
special
