pankso@102 69 <h3>SliTaz Panel</h3>
pankso@102 70 <p>
paul@104 71 From spring 2011 the new way (and tool) to configure the system is TazPanel.
pankso@102 72 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
paul@107 73 can control your entire system, this includes package management, adding or
paul@104 74 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides
paul@104 75 a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the
pankso@102 76 panel you can use the menu entry in "System Tools" or this url:

paul@40 83 <h3>Network connections</h3>
pankso@30 84 <p>
paul@51 85 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then
paul@51 86 "Configure" and the network manager (netbox) will come up. You can then
paul@40 87 go to the "DHCP" tab and click "Start", and Slitaz will send a DHCP request
paul@40 88 to the local router. You may also setup a static IP, PPPoE, PPP, VPN and
paul@96 89 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
paul@97 90 connection, you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
paul@94 91 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks
paul@94 92 connections".

pankso@38 101 <h3>Applications</h3>
pankso@38 102 <p>
paul@97 103 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
paul@97 104 at the bottom left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
paul@40 105 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. And to have
paul@97 106 a list of all installed packages, you can launch the package manager user interface
paul@97 107 from the Lxpanel icon or by using the "System Tools" menu entry. To install any new packages,
pankso@44 108 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
paul@96 109 containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
pankso@44 110 can also be done from the command line and <code>tazpkg</code>.

pankso@38 114 <h3>Office suite</h3>
pankso@38 115 <p>
paul@40 116 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
paul@40 117 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
paul@51 118 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
paul@51 119 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
paul@40 120 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
paul@40 121 enabled.
pankso@38 122 </p>
pankso@38 123 <p>
paul@107 124 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword as the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
pankso@38 125 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
pankso@38 126 </p>

pankso@44 128 <a name="multimedia"></a>
pankso@44 129 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
pankso@44 130 <p>
pankso@44 131 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
paul@45 132 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
paul@45 133 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
paul@45 134 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
paul@96 135 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
paul@94 136 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.
pankso@44 137 </p>
pankso@44 138 <p>
pankso@44 139 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
paul@45 140 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
paul@96 141 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.

pankso@38 145 <h3>System information</h3>
pankso@38 146 <p>
pankso@38 147 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
paul@52 148 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
paul@96 149 buttons offers you more information, and using the benchmarks can
paul@94 150 give you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
paul@97 151 of all your current processes, you can use the "Task Manager".
pankso@38 152 </p>

pankso@38 154 <a name="root"></a>
pankso@38 155 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
pankso@38 156 <p>
paul@40 157 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@51 158 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
pankso@38 159 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
paul@96 160 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
pankso@38 161 </p>
pankso@38 162
pankso@44 163 <a name="install"></a>
pankso@38 164 <h3>Installation</h3>
pankso@38 165 <p>
paul@40 166 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
paul@40 167 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@96 168 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 169 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 170 </p>
pankso@38 171 <p>
paul@97 172 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
paul@40 173 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
claudinei@65 174 Handbook: <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>
