SubdirectoryContents/usr/shareThe information that you can use on any Linux machine, even if it s running incredibly different hardware fromwhat this one is running* /usr/srcThe source code that you use to build the programs onyour systemFinding CDs and More in Your GUIChapter 10 covers how to use the file managers that come with the distribu- tions covered with this book (and most other Linux desktop-based distribu- tions, for that matter) Nautilus and Konqueror. In this section, I take a lookat how to use these tools to find your way around the filesystem. Some distri- butions make this process more intuitive than others, mostly due to tons ofhandy shortcuts that mean you have to know less of what s happening underthe hood a pretty handy thing for desktop users. Navigating the filesystem in FedoraBecause Fedora s default GUI is GNOME (see Chapter 6), which is differentfrom all the other distributions discussed in this book, you use Nautilus (see Chapter 10) to find your way around. Some things are made pretty easy for you: When you insert a data CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, an icon may or may notappear on your desktop. If it doesn t appear, double-click the Computericon and then the drive s icon within the Nautilus window in order toaccess the CD-ROM s or DVD-ROM s contents and add an icon to yourdesktop. You can later remove these items by right-clicking and choos- ing Eject from the shortcut menu. When you plug in a USB storage device such as a keychain, Fedora auto- matically adds an icon onto your desktop for that item, which you candouble-click to open. Once you re finished working with the USB device, close all of the windows that were using it, right-click its icon on thedesktop, and choose Unmount. Now it s safe to remove the keychain. When you insert a music CD, Fedora opens a music player and beginsplaying it. When you insert a video DVD, Fedora is not configured to auto-run itscontents. See Chapter 18 for more on watching DVDs. 219Chapter 11: Checking Out the Linux Filesystem17_
