<div dir="ltr">Another nice feature for the shell that makes life prettier. From the upper menu of the shell go to->Settings->Schema->Transparent, Light background. This will give the background of the desktop (whatever picture they have there). They will have to play with the font colors to be visible when they type a commands, but it's nicer than the dull black and white. This will give the WOW factor, while they can't do that on windows. <br>

You might want to asdd a mention of Sticky Keys: the ability to hit<br>
Shift _then_ a letter instead of having to hold shift. This ability<br>
has sped up my typing speed considerably. It is not unique to Linux,<br>
but it is better implemented in KDE (I don't know about Gnome) than in<br>
MS Windows.</blockquote></div><div><br>Not sure that sticky keys is as useful. <br>Here is the final version which I just mailed to the lab users:<br><br><br><a href="http://ssdl-linux.cs.technion.ac.il/wiki/index.php/Image:Dozen_linux_tips.pdf" target="_blank">http://ssdl-linux.cs.technion.ac.il/wiki/index.php/Image:Dozen_linux_tips.pdf</a><br>
