Understanding the new menu for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric

*ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso*

copy & pasted the wrong one.

Press 'meta' key (aka windows key), this will open the 'dash', click on 'more applications' start typing software-center in search box, when it's icon appears in first position, hit 'enter' key.
Software-center icon is also located in the launcher (menu on the left side of desktop).

Search for and install compizconfig-settings-manager. After installation it can be found in 'dash'.
btw. open applications have their icon in launcher, right click allows to keep it in launcher.

After opening ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager) look for the 'unity-plugin', from there launcher size can be adjusted.

System-settings can be found in top right corner of panel.

All installed applications can be found in 'dash'.

So the new Ubuntu doesn't come with any shell or x-terminal? I highly doubt that.

Thanks Sam,

I did try to use the 'find' in 'dash', but didn't know that I should type something to see what is installed, and all the listed entries don't look anything close to shell or x-terminal. That's why I felt strange. I'm a command-line guy, and felt frustrated when I can't get to my command-line. :-)

Thanks again Sam

Thanks Sam_, that solved my question.

Is there any way to revert my gnome menu to the "old fashioned way"?
I have to say that I really don't like the new menu behavior.
Please help.

thanks
