The last screen summarizes your install settings, including any changes that will be made to the partitions on your hard drive. Note the warning about data being destroyed on any removed or formatted partitions\dash if you have important information on your hard drive that is not backed up, now would be a good time to check that you have set up your partitions correctly. \marginnote{You should not need to click the \button{Advanced} button unless you wish to change your bootloader settings or network proxy. These are more advanced tasks and beyond the scope of this guide.} Once you have made sure that all the settings are correct, click on \button{Install} to begin the installation process.

At first glance, you will notice many similarities between Ubuntu and other operating systems such as Windows or Mac \acronym{OS~X}. This is because they are all based on the concept of a graphical user interface (\gls{GUI})\dash that is, you use your mouse to navigate the desktop, open programs, move files, and perform most other tasks. In short, things are very visually oriented, which means it is important for you to become familiar with where and what to click in Ubuntu.

All \acronym{GUI}-based operating systems use a \emph{desktop environment}. Desktop environments encompass many things, such as the look and feel of your system, as well as how the desktop is organized, laid out, and navigated by the user. In Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu), there are a number of desktop environments available for use. One of the most popular desktop environments is called \acronym{GNOME}, which is used by default in Ubuntu. \acronym{KDE}, \acronym{XFCE}, and \acronym{LXDE} are other popular desktop environments (used in Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu, respectively), and there are many more. As Ubuntu is based on \acronym{GNOME}, we will limit our discussion in this guide to exploring your \acronym{GNOME} desktop.

\marginnote{Everything on a panel is an \gls{applet}, even the main menu.} First, you will notice there are two \emph{panels}\dash one at the top of your desktop and one at the bottom. A panel is a bar that sits on the edge of your screen and contains various \emph{applets}. These applets provide useful functions such as running programs, viewing the time, or accessing the main menu.

Starting from the left, you will see three menu headings\dash \button{Applications}, \button{Places}, and \button{System}\dash followed by two program icons. The first of these icons will open the \application{Firefox} web browser (see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information), and the next will open the \application{Ubuntu Help Center}. \marginnote{The \application{Ubuntu Help Center} is a highly useful resource. It provides a wealth of information about your Ubuntu system, and is always at your fingertips by simply clicking this panel icon (or navigating to \menu{System \then Help and Support}).}

On the right side of this panel you will find the \emph{notification area}, which is similar in function to the ``system tray'' in Windows, or the ``menu extras'' area on the Mac \acronym{OS~X} menubar. Next to this is the \gls{MeMenu}, which will display your username (the name you entered during installation) and is used to update social network sites like Twitter and Facebook as well as set your Instant Messaging status in \application{Empathy}. Finally, on the far right of the panel is the session menu, which provides menu options for locking your computer, logging out, restarting, or shutting down completely.

Inside the \gls{notification area} you will find the network indicator, volume adjustment, Bluetooth indicator (if your computer has Bluetooth capability), messaging, and the date and time applets. Some programs will also place an icon in the notification area when you open them.

Left-clicking icons in the notification area will bring up a list of options, and in some cases right-clicking an icon will also perform an action related to that program. For example, to adjust the volume, simply left-click once on the volume icon and a volume slider will appear. Click the date and time applet to open a small calendar, and then click a specific date to add a reminder to your calendar through \application{Evolution} (see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information on \application{Evolution}).
