My Own Menu
Unlike the Windows and OS X counterparts, the Ubuntu menus are completely customizable. I like to go in and add some things that are hidden by default and maybe take out a few things that I’ll never use. Like it’s predecessors, Hardy Heron makes this painfully easy. I just right click on the Applications menu and choose edit menus. This brings up all of the menu possibilities in a kind of tree view where I can check or uncheck items as I see fit.
