Welcome to the Fedora 12 Desktop User Guide! This guide is intended for users who have a working Fedora 12 system and are able to use a mouse and keyboard.
This guide describes:
- The different desktop environments available to a Fedora user
- How to login to a Fedora desktop
- The layout of two main Fedora desktops, GNOME and KDE
- How to use the file and system navigator
- How to use the e-mail client
- How to use the instant messenger client
- How to use the web browser
- How to use the OpenOffice.org office suite
- How to customize your Fedora desktop
- How to manage and update software
This guide is not, however, a replacement for the documentation included on your system for individual programs. This guide can give you a brief overview of some basic tasks, but you need to read the documentation provided by each application for more in-depth coverage of specific tasks. This documentation can usually be found at the Help > Contents entry in an application's menu, or by pressing [F1]. Help for console applications can be found by typing
man program-name
in a terminal, where program-name is the application you want to view the manual for.
