So far in the 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux series, there have been a number of things about the OS that I have struggled with as a Linux novice. One of the aspects of Ubuntu that I appreciate most, though, is the functionality of the top panel.
At the upper-right of the display (unless you followed the tip on Day 4 to move the top panel to the bottom of the display) there are a number of icons: the Bluetooth logo, wireless network signal, volume, envelope, clock, chat, and power. There is more functionality hidden beneath these icons than you might expect, though.
If you click on the Bluetooth logo, you can enable or disable Bluetooth connectivity, add Bluetooth devices, and send or receive files via Bluetooth. The other icons have more to offer.
