\textit{Additional Navigation Tools:} Just below the toolbar, you will see a representation of where you are currently browsing. This is similar to the history function of most browsers; it keeps track of where you are and allows you to backtrack if necessary. You can click on the locations to navigate back through the file browser.

Ubuntu was conceived in 2004 by Mark Shuttleworth, a successful South African entrepreneur, and his company \gls{Canonical}. Shuttleworth recognized the power of Linux and Open Source, but was also aware of weaknesses that prevented mainstream use.

Please bear in mind that this guide is still very much a work in progress and always will be. It is written specifically for Ubuntu 10.04 \acronym{LTS}, and although we have aimed to not limit our instructions to this version it is unavoidable that some things will change over the life of Ubuntu. Whenever a new version of Ubuntu is released, we will incorporate any changes into our guide, and make a new version available at \url{http://www.ubuntu-manual.org}.

Our goal is to cover the basics of Ubuntu (such as installation and working with the desktop) as well as guide you through some of the most popular applications. We designed this guide to be simple to follow with step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots, allowing you to discover the potential of your new Ubuntu system even if you are a novice computer user or are migrating from another operating system for the first time.

These can be used to copy or move items to common locations, and can be useful if you are using \textbf{panes} (see below). Note that it is unnecessary to use \button{Paste} when using these options.} As with the copy command above, you can also perform this action using the right-click menu, and it will work for multiple files or folders at once. An alternative way to move a file or folder is to click on the item, and then drag it to the new location.

Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.04

The term ``Ubuntu'' is a traditional African concept that originated from the Bantu languages of southern Africa. It can be described as a way of connecting with others\dash living in a global community where your actions affect all of humanity. Ubuntu is more than just an operating system: it is a community of people that come together voluntarily to collaborate on an international software project that aims to deliver the best possible user experience.

Ubuntu provides the best translations and accessibility features that the free software community has to offer.

Navigating between directories

To navigate between directories, use the bookmarks in the left pane of the \application{Nautilus} file browser. You can also retrace your steps by clicking on the name of a folder where it is listed just below the navigational icons. Double-clicking on a visible directory will cause you to navigate to it in \application{Nautilus}.

To open a file, you can either double-click on its icon or right-click and select \button{Open With} (program).

Multiple files can be selected by left-clicking in an empty space (\ie, not on a file or folder), holding the mouse button down, and dragging the cursor across the files or folders you want. This ``click-drag'' move is useful when you are selecting items that are grouped closely together. To select multiple files or folders that are not positioned next to each other, hold down the \keystroke{Ctrl} key while clicking on each item individually. Once multiple files and/or folders are selected you can use the \menu{Edit} menu to perform actions just like you would for a single item.\marginnote{When you ``cut'' or ``copy'' a file or folder, nothing will happen until you ``paste'' it somewhere. Paste will only affect the most recent item that was cut or copied.} When one or more items have been ``copied,'' navigate to the desired location then click \menu{Edit \then Paste} (or right-click in an empty area of the window and choose \button{Paste}) to copy them to the new location.

While the \emph{copy} command can be used to make a duplicate of a file or folder in a new location, the \emph{cut} command can be used to move files and folders around. That is, a copy will be placed in a new location, and the original will be removed from its current location.
