It allows the users to create shortcuts easily. This article shows the installation process of Xfdashboard in Ubuntu.
Installation of Xfdashboard
First you need to add the repository for installing the Xfdashboard.
root@linuxhelp2:~# add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/extras As always, install packages from PPA' s at your own risk. This is a preview PPA for Xubuntu. The packages in this PPA are considered for inclusion in the Ubuntu repositories and/or Xubuntu at a later time. The packages are uploaded for the convenience of people willing to preview the new features. NOTE: The packages haven' t undergone major testing and are not suitable for most installations! There is no guarantee that these packages will make it into the Ubuntu repositories (or the Xubuntu seed) and they can be removed from the PPA at any time by the Xubuntu developers. Please DO NOT rely on this PPA for features you need in any installation. File bugs!
