Hi! This is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome to part five of our special butterscotch.com 10 part series on Ubuntu.
Now, on this segment we’re going to look at Internet and the applications that come bundled right with Ubuntu. So, if you think you're leaving anything behind if you switch from Windows to Ubuntu, you’d be mistaken. You click on applications, internet. You can see here we have Fire Fox, a very popular browser. If you happen to use X marks and we have a separate tutorial on that, you can synchronize all of your bookmarks with other PC’s that you may have on your system. If you should want an icon on the desktop, you can do it quite easily. Just click application, Internet. Go down here to Firefox, left click, drag and drop it. Now, you have an icon on the desktop.
Another thing under Internet is Pidgin, internet messenger. And it's a wonderful system tat combines yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google Talk and many other instant messaging system so you can stay in contact wit all of your friends. It also has a Remote Desktop Viewer, a Bit Torrent Clients so that you can download files quickly, a Softphone manager, a Terminal Sever for connecting to remote computers and more. And that doesn’t even include the things that you can go ahead and download that are also freed software like FTP Clients, Clients that do trace routes who is paying and lots more. So, when you have Ubuntu, you're completely connected to the internet. It easily connects to your home network. And you have the basic tools you need to get started. So, this is Ubuntu and the internet. And that concludes part five.
