does ubuntu come with this software?

[admin]

i think the latter method would be better for me
if a program is going to be used commonly enough that i want it in my 
menus, then it will be uses commonly enough that i should just stick it 
in the panel. i take it that the panel serves a similar function to the 
dock in mac osx ?
also am i correct to say that when you right click the panel, it gives 
you an option to add a program, then you can choose from a list of 
programs in a dialogue box?
