Editing Linux Basics Tutorial (section)

=== General Use Applications ===

The following are some applications that the typical Ubuntu user might use. These all happen to be pre-installed with Ubuntu, but if you want, you can install different software and use that (more on that later):

* '''Firefox''' - A popular web browser.

* '''Thunderbird''' - A desktop email client by the makers of Firefox. Note: Thunderbird may not play well with Rose-Hulman's exchange server, so if you have trouble connecting it, '''Evolution''' is a nice alternative.

* '''LibreOffice''' - An office suite with apps for documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. Similar to Microsoft Office, but without all of its fanciest features.

* '''Files''' - Ubuntu's built-in file browser, follows most of the same conventions as Windows Explorer (e.g. ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste, shift+del to permanently delete, etc).
