If you're a Linux user, you are undoubtedly familiar with the "dock"--that column of icons lined up on the side of your screen that includes important applications, your favorites. It allows you to open the applications simply by left clicking on one of the icons.

But did you know that you can add or remove applications from your dock and sometimes even change the location of the dock on your screen? This post shows you how to make these changes on Ubuntu.
To add an application to the dock, start the application in the usual way. Once it's open, you should see that it's been temporarily added to the dock. If you want it to stay there for future use, just click on its icon in the dock and select "Add to Favorites" from the menu that opens. In this screenshot, the terminal window is being added to the dock.
