Linux is not an operating system where command-line utilities must be used. Once |

the system is installed, any user should be able to use it without any knowledge |

+When you load up GNOME, you will notice that its interface is sober but well |

+The window decoration is simple, but gives a nice finished look. Configuration |

106 |

107 |
