The Programs Menu. If you continue to use Linux, the Programs menu is likely to be merely the starting point for using your collection of Linux applications. However, you may find that you continue to use some of these programs, especially as the authors (and the other Linux developers) will be regularly improving and enhancing them.

Gnotepad+ and gedit are only two of the text editors available for use with Gnome. They are accessed from the Applications submenu of the Programs menu. Gnotepad+ is intended mainly for use as a hypertext markup language (HTML) text editor, with many useful shortcuts for web-page composition. Gedit is a simple and effective word-processing application.

Calendar. The Gnome Calendar is simple, but contains many features you might expect in a commercial product. The Calendar is launched from the Applications submenu.

There are four tabs: Day, Week, Month, and Year. Each one displays its own time period, but allows you to schedule appointments from any of the other tabs.

Other applications include Gneumeric, the Gnome spreadsheet, and Dia, a diagram editor. Both of these are very easy to learn- especially if you have some familiarity with these kinds of applications.

The utilities accesses from the Programs menu differ from the utilities available as applets because they are full programs that run in separate windows on the desktop. The utilities include a wide range of simple applications, form search tools to calculators to color browsers. The following examples show some of the utilities provided with the standard Gnome installation.

Gfloppy. The Gfloppy is a utility for formatting floppy disks. You will usually be able to mount and read floppy disks that have been formatted on other operating systems on the Gnomf desktop. For example, Windows/DOS-formatted disks can be read. However,the transfer will not work in the opposite direction. Linux floppy disks cannot automatically be read on a Windows PC. So if you are intending to transfer files between a Linux PC (html or txt documents, for instance) and a Windows PC, you should format your floppy disks as DOS (FAT16) rather than Linux Native (ext 2) disks.

GNOME Calculator. The Gnome Calculator comes with the description as providing “simple double-precision calculations similar to xcalc.” For those who require them, there are far more features than the average, free, desktop calculator offers.
