2.4.2. Customizing your System
The Start Here screen in Nautilus contains additional configuration tools that help you with your
new Red Hat Enterprise Linux system and the server applications included.
The System Settings icon includes tools that help you set up your system for personal everyday use.
The following lists some of the tools included in System Settings and what you can do with them.
Date & Time
This tool allows you to set the date and time of your machine. You can set your time zone
information as well. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide for
details on using this tool.
Printing
The Printer Configuration Tool allows you to add a new printer to your system. The printer
may be connected to your machine or available on a network. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux System Administration Guide for details.
Soundcard Detection
The Sound Card Configuration Tool tool probes your machine for available sound devices.
Refer to Section 8.3 Troubleshooting Your Sound Card for more details on configuring your
sound hardware.
Users & Groups
The User Manager tool allows you to add and remove users from your system. Refer to Section
1.6 Creating a User Account for details.
You may also find server configuration tools in the Start Here area, depending on which variant of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux you installed. These tools help you configure services and applications you
are using on the local machine to serve other machines. The server configuration tools are found by
clicking on the System Settings icon and then the Server Settings icon. A few examples of the tools
found in this area are the HTTP Configuration Tool and the Domain Name Service Configuration
Tool. You must have those server applications installed before these tools appear in this section. Refer
to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide for details.

2.5. Logging Out

When you have finished working and want to quit GNOME, you are presented with the choice of
logging out of GNOME (leaving the system running), restarting the machine, or halting the system
completely.
