When you first install and run Ubuntu Linux the first thing you see when you log in is the default desktop. It has the Ubuntu brown color scheme and panels at the top and bottom of the screen. There are two predominent desktop environemnts availabe with Linux - the GNOME desktop and the KDE desktop. Which is the best desktop ius matter of preference and heating disagreement in the Linux community. Both are excellent, feature rich desktops. The standard Ubuntu Linux distribnution installs the GNOME desktop by default, and that is the desktop covered in this chapter of Ubuntu Linux Essentials.
