SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 provides the tools necessary for everyday tasks for linux* users. It communicates with the underlying linux system via an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GNOME* desktop) to access and manage files, folders, and programs. SUSE Linux Enterprise provides a broad range of integrated application suites for office, multimedia, and Internet activities. These include the OpenOffice.org suite, which allows files to be edited and saved in a variety of formats. The office suite can be used on multiple operating systems, so the same data can be used on different computing platforms.
This guide introduces the GNOME desktop that ships with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1. It explains the main desktop elements such as the desktop icons, bottom panel, main menu, and taskbar, and shows how to log in, launch applications, and use basic file management with Nautilus.
It also covers customization options like adding or removing panels, changing the desktop background, enabling Xgl desktop effects, and configuring system settings through the GNOME Control Center and YaST. Additional sections describe using common applications such as Firefox, Evolution, GroupWise, Gaim, Helix Banshee, F‑Spot, and OpenOffice.org, as well as printer setup and power management.
