Basic Navigation in Linux Mint

If you are familiar with Windows 7 operating system, the navigation within Linux Mint 14 is very similar. You access most of the applications by clicking on the Menu bar at the lower left hand corner of your Screen, which is just like clicking on the Startup bar in the same area in Windows 7.

Once you click on the Menu bar in Linux Mint, you will access a small window that displays the different categories of applications to navigate to. The top items on this window are 5 applications you will use frequently that is why they are singled out at the top. I think this is more compact than the current equivalent Startup Menu bar in Windows 7, which is a little bit excessive in how it lists several applications without the categorization.

It is easy enough to move the mouse over one of the five applications and click to select them or move the mouse to one of the categories to select the applications displayed within that category.
