Have just installed 13.10 [ 64 bit ] on spare Windows XP ( 64 bit ) machine ie C drive is partitioned.

Desktop works fine but how do I access the Shell / Terminal ?

Also none my USB drives are present - but my old floppy drive was.

[ I am trying to use Arduino software and to be able to plug in hardware to USB port - ie get Arduino sketches to work and use 'sudo' commands etc. ]

Sorry ,if this a stupid question but I am a complete novice.

SOLVED - GOT TERMINAL ICON BY CTRL-ALT - T. FOUnD ARDUINO IDE DOWNLOAD IN ARBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTRE [ AFTER FAILING WITH THE sudo apt-get route ] - SO FAR SO GOOD

I see you've found your answer already. Nevertheless, I'll repost here as an answer.

Just press CTRL-ALT-T on your keyboard. You could also launch a terminal from the Dash (press Super -Windows key- and type 'terminal') or any other launcher you may have installed.

If you want a 'real shell', press CTRL-ALT-F1 to CTRL-ALT-F6 for each shell you want to open.
