[xubuntu-users] Ease of use

[Daniel Sarmiento]

Hi,

I think there's an icon on the upper-left corner to launch firefox, by
default. The icon is near the applications menu, but in case it isn't there,
press: Alt+F2 and then type: firefox
 on the run program prompt. That should open the web browser.

I also think there is a calculator installed by default, under the
accesories categories in the applications menu. Or again,  press Alt+F2 and
type: gcalctool and then press Run.

IMO, there's a loot to see in xubuntu, you just have to dedicate some time
to explore the OS.
