Trash:A GNOME shortcut that opens the Nautilus file manager to theTrash folder, which contains files that you dragged into it because youweren t sure if you wanted to delete them or not. To use the trashcan, drag into it any files you want to delete. Later, if you resure that you want to be rid of them, you can empty the trash in one of threeways: Empty the entire contents by right-clicking the trashcan icon and choos- ing Empty Trash from the context menu. When asked for confirmation, click Empty. Open the trashcan by double-clicking the icon. Then delete the entirecontents of the trashcan by choosing File.Empty Trash. Open the trashcan by double-clicking the icon. To delete an individualitem from the Trash, right-click it to pull up the Trash context menu, andchoose Delete From Trash from the pop-up menu. When asked whetheryou re sure, click the Delete button to finish the job. You can select more than one item by holding the Ctrl key to individuallyselect them even if they re not next to each other; holding the Shift keyto select a range of items; or left-clicking and then dragging to collect allthe items that are in a box together. Another way to remove items from the trashcan is to delete them manu- ally from ~/.Trash. KDE BasicsKDE, the Y, is the default in most of the distributions covered here. Therefore, I break out sections for each of the distributions so that you can see the dif- ferences and find your way around. I skip Fedora here because I m only cov- ering default desktops (Fedora, Mandrake, and SuSE all give you the option ofchoosing between GNOME and KDE if you installed both), and instead focuson Knoppix, Linspire, Mandrake, SuSE, and Xandros. All the distributions share similarities, yet each one is organized in a uniqueway that its particular vendor or project group feels makes the most sensefor their user base.
