A.3. Using
Konqueror
Konqueror is the file manager and a
Web browser for the KDE desktop. Konqueror allows you to configure your KDE
desktop, configure your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, play
multimedia files, browse digital images, surf the Web, and more
from one interface. This section explains some of the ways
Konqueror can help you work with and
enjoy your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
To start Konqueror for file
management, click on your home directory icon 
.
Konqueror opens up in a window on
your desktop, allowing you to navigate through your home directory
and throughout your Red Hat Enterprise Linux file system. After
exploring, you can return to your home directory by clicking the
Home button on the toolbar.
You can navigate through the file system by clicking on folders
within the main window pane or through the hierarchical file system
viewer on the navigation panel as shown in Figure A-3. Files
and folders in the main window frame can be moved or copied to
another folder or sent to the trash. You can also delete files and
folders by right-clicking on the item and choosing .
Konqueror also displays thumbnail
icons for text, images, PostScript/PDF files, and Web files. It can
also preview sounds from digital audio files.
A.3.1.
The Navigation Panel
Another useful feature of Konqueror
is the navigation panel. This panel
appears on the left side of the Konqueror file browser window by default. The
navigation panel makes many of your sytem resources available to
you in convenient tabbed icons. Figure A-4
shows the navigation panel.
The navigation panel lets you access your Web bookmarks,
browsing history, network resources, file system, and has a
built-in media player for playing multimedia files without opening
a separate application. The navigation panel makes Konqueror an efficient solution for users who
want fast and easy access to all of their files and
information.
