15.1 A Note About Conventions 189

GNOME terminal

Color Xterm

We’ll use GNOME as our example.

To begin, take your cursor to the GNOME footprint on the panel at the bottom of the desktop.

Now, left-click once on the footprint (see Figure 15.1), and a menu of “folders” will pop up. These

folders represent categories of various software groups on our system. There are utilities, graphics

programs, Internet applications and much more.

Once the menu pops up, “drag” the cursor to the Utilities section of the menu by holding down the

mouse button while raising the mouse to the Utilities folder.

Once the cursor is over the folder, a new menu pops up to the right of the Utilities folder.

Here, in the ﬁrst entries of this new submenu, there is a choice of terminal windows: Regular

xterm, Color xterm and GNOME terminal (as shown in Figure 15.2). To get a shell prompt,

position the cursor over the terminal window of your choice, and release the mouse button.

Tip: Of the choices in the Panel Utilities menu, the GNOME terminal offers the

ability to set background color and other preferences most easily.

Now, it’s time to take your ﬁrst steps.
