paul@58 72 <li>More than 2800 commits by contributors</li>
pankso@53 73 </ul>
pankso@53 74 <p>
pankso@53 75 Technical support is provided to users via the mailing list and the official
pankso@53 76 forum: <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum.slitaz.org</a>

pankso@53 80 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Supported Hardware</font></h3>
pankso@53 81 <p>
paul@58 82 SliTaz GNU/Linux supports all machines based on the i486 or x86 Intel compatible
pankso@53 83 processors. A minimum 192MB of memory is recommended to use the core LiveCD.
pankso@53 84 64MB is needed for the "slitaz-loram" flavor and 16MB for the
pankso@53 85 "slitaz-loram-cdrom" flavor.
pankso@53 86 </p>
pankso@53 87 <p>
paul@58 88 SliTaz 3.0 provides all needed drivers and tools such as 915resolution to
paul@58 89 have support for a wide range of netbooks (Eeepc, HP mini, Aspire One, etc).
pankso@53 90 </p>
pankso@53 91
tux@62 92 <p>
pankso@63 93 The slitaz-loram flavor allows to graphically install SliTaz on very old
pankso@63 94 machines with constrained resources. The liveCD may be less responsive,
pankso@63 95 but once installed, SliTaz works well with a minimum of 16MB memory. On
pankso@63 96 very old machines, you may be better off using a text based browser such
pankso@63 97 as 'links'.

pankso@53 101 <h3><font color="#6c0023">LiveCD Flavors</font></h3>
pankso@53 102 <p>
pankso@63 103 SliTaz GNU/Linux is distributed as a bootable LiveCD. You can use the LiveCD
pankso@63 104 as a normal system or you can graphically install Slitaz to the hard drive.
pankso@63 105 Installing/upgrading Slitaz retains your previous system's settings, applications
pankso@63 106 and documents.
pankso@53 107 </p>
pankso@53 108 <p>
pankso@53 109 The LiveCD can also be customised and easily rebuilt both graphically or from
pankso@53 110 the command line. Install your own custom set of packages, or simply use one
pankso@53 111 of the preset flavors on the mirror. Then simply generate your distribution
pankso@53 112 with the "Tazlito" tool.
pankso@53 113 </p>
pankso@63 114 <p>
pankso@63 115 The ISO image is now hydrid: it can be copied on a USB stick without formating
pankso@63 116 it (using <code>dd</code>).
pankso@63 117 </p>
pankso@53 118
pankso@53 119 <a name="toolchain"></a>
pankso@53 120 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Kernel and toolchain</font></h3>
pankso@53 121 <p>
tux@62 122 SliTaz 3.0 comes with a new but very well tested 2.6.30.6 Linux kernel and a complete new
tux@62 123 build toolchain from which the whole system has been built. The 2.6.30.6 Linux kernel is
tux@62 124 separated into several linux-packages for supporting additional drivers and features. This time
paul@58 125 we have also built-in some more drivers to have a faster kernel boot.
pankso@53 126 </p>
pankso@53 127 <p>
paul@58 128 The new toolchain comprises of: Binutils 2.19.1, GCC 4.4.1, Glibc 2.10.1
pankso@53 129 </p>
pankso@53 130
pankso@53 131 <a name="utf-8"></a>
pankso@53 132 <h3><font color="#6c0023">UTF-8 support</font></h3>
tux@62 133 With this release, Slitaz community can enjoy full UTF-8 support.
tux@62 134 It uses standard PO files for the translation of all SliTaz related tools, boxes and utilities.
tux@62 135 With better internationalization support (russian, portuguese, chinese, arabic and many more),
tux@62 136 contributors can now use graphical tools such as poedit to make translations using GNU gettext standards.
tux@62 137 The labs also have a i18n project to easily upload files to be included in the distribution.
tux@62 138 The locale packs have more translated application(s) messages for the core system and
tux@62 139 some extra packages for applications such as Gimp, Abiword, Gnumeric, etc.
pankso@53 140
pankso@53 141 <a name="xorg"></a>
pankso@53 142 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Xorg server</font></h3>
paul@61 143 <p>
tux@62 144 SliTaz now uses the Xorg X window system. With the tazx utility, you can reconfigure Xorg and
paul@61 145 select the correct driver for your card. The xorg server comes with the vesa
tux@62 146 driver by default which powers most cards. However, if you install some of the
tux@62 147 other xorg video drivers, you may need to manually configure your xorg.conf.
tux@62 148 We also hope that our growing community would be able to provide and support an official Xvesa flavor.

pankso@53 151 <a name="install"></a>
pankso@53 152 <h3><font color="#6c0023">HD install and LiveUSB</font></h3>
pankso@53 153 <p>
pankso@53 154 The installation is fully automated and can be done graphically or in text
tux@62 155 mode. The slitaz installer now lets you use a separate partition for
paul@58 156 /home, configure the root password and chose the default user login. The installer also
paul@58 157 now supports installation from a LiveUSB session.
pankso@53 158 </p>
pankso@63 159 <p>
paul@58 160 Full USB install is also supported and some time is needed using <code>rootdelay=10</code>
pankso@63 161 as a kernel argument (in GRUB menu.lst). The root delay will ensure the Kernel
pankso@63 162 have detected the device before mounting it on / (root).
pankso@63 163 </p>
pankso@53 164
pankso@53 165 <a name="packages"></a>
pankso@53 166 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Software Packages</font></h3>
pankso@53 167 <p>
paul@58 168 SliTaz 3.0 has 2291 packages in the database. A wide variety of packages
pankso@63 169 have been commited. Tazpkg package manager also supports converting
pankso@63 170 deb/rpm/arch/slackware/ipk packages to Slitaz native format
pankso@63 171 A lot of time was also spent maintaining many professionnal grade software
pankso@63 172 such as OpenERP, MySQL, GLPI.
pankso@53 173 </p>
pankso@53 174 <p>
tux@62 175 On the update side, mostly all the packages have been updated, including
tux@62 176 the kernel, the toolchain, Xorg (7.4), GTK and QT. Package format has
pankso@63 177 also changed to support lzma for better compression and faster package
pankso@63 178 downloads. Packages are also checked by Tazwok to ensure the FHS is followed.
pankso@63 179 Packages are now built automatically by the SliTaz Build Bot:

pankso@53 184 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Core Desktop</font></h3>
pankso@53 185 <p>
tux@62 186 A lot of attention has been paid the the core desktop. All applications
paul@58 187 are well integrated and a special SliTaz theme (icons, Openbox, GTK) has
paul@58 188 been created.
pankso@53 189 </p>
tux@62 190 <p>
tux@62 191 The core desktop provides a selection of multi-use packages for surfing the
tux@62 192 web, listening to music, audio editing, image manipulation and developing or
pankso@63 193 burning to optical media. One click application menu helps to find installed
pankso@63 194 software by categories.

pankso@53 198 <h3><font color="#6c0023">Security</font></h3>
pankso@53 199 <p>
pankso@63 200 Slitaz is more secured and robust now. Firewall rules have been updated. A
pankso@63 201 firewall can be installed using graphical tazhw box. The serverbox can help
pankso@63 202 to maintain the installed firewall. Mountbox can manage crypto device with
pankso@63 203 devmapper. Mountbox packages dependencies: dmsetup linux-md devmapper.
tux@62 204 Crypt setup tools allow encryption of block devices.

pankso@53 207 <a name="upgrade"></a>
paul@58 208 <h3><font color="#6c0023">From 2.0 to 3.0</font></h3>
pankso@53 209 <p>
pankso@53 210 The SliTaz GNU/linux installer offers an update function allowing you to
pankso@53 211 upgrade from a '2.0' to '3.0' version. To upgrade the system you first
pankso@53 212 need to boot the 'Stable' LiveCD, launch the installer, select upgrade and then
pankso@53 213 specify the partition containing the system that you want to update. The
pankso@53 214 installer will then clean out the system and reinstall all the packages not
pankso@53 215 present on the CD from the mirror. When this has finished you can reboot
pankso@53 216 with your new version of SliTaz.
pankso@53 217 </p>
pankso@53 218 <p>
pankso@53 219 Note that the installer will keep a copy of the list of packages and a complete
pankso@53 220 archive of the /etc directory (etc.tar.gz) in /var/lib/slitaz-install.
pankso@53 221 </p>
pankso@53 222 <p>
pankso@53 223 To upgrade a 2.0 to 3.0 it is also possible to use the package manager "Tazpkg"
pankso@53 224 via the 'set-release' function, but beware this is not yet proven and may
paul@58 225 require some manual intervention. If you choose this method you must first
paul@58 226 install 'tazpkg' from 3.0, because the package format has changed.
