30 Days With Ubuntu Linux: Day 22

When I grow up, I want to have one of those desks that looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise–where there are three 23-inch monitors side by side, and I can extend my workspace and work seamlessly across all of them. That dream may not happen any time soon, but with the virtual workspaces in Ubuntu Linux I can essentially simulate the same thing.

I do have a relatively large monitor–at least when I am sitting at my desk. My laptop has display on the small end of the spectrum at 13-inches, but my desktop monitor is 23-inches. That is great for snapping a browser window to the left for conducting research, and the LibreOffice Writer window to the right to do my writing, but what if I am actively working in more than two windows? What then?
