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:

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

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

135 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
|
pankso@44
|
136 <p>
|
pankso@44
|
137 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
|
paul@45
|
138 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
|
paul@45
|
139 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
|
paul@45
|
140 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
|
paul@96
|
141 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
|
paul@94
|
142 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.

145 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
|
paul@45
|
146 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
|
paul@96
|
147 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.

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

161 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
|
pankso@38
|
162 <p>
|
paul@40
|
163 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
|
paul@51
|
164 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
|
pankso@38
|
165 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
|
paul@96
|
166 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.

170 <h3>Installation</h3>
|
pankso@38
|
171 <p>
|
paul@40
|
172 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
|
paul@40
|
173 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
|
paul@96
|
174 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
|
paul@41
|
175 everything is persistent.
|
pankso@38
|
176 </p>
|
pankso@38
|
177 <p>
|
paul@97
|
178 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
|
paul@40
|
179 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
