pankso@38 91 <a name="office"></a>
pankso@38 92 <h3>Office suite</h3>
pankso@38 93 <p>
paul@40 94 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
paul@40 95 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
paul@51 96 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
paul@51 97 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
paul@40 98 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
paul@40 99 enabled.
pankso@38 100 </p>
pankso@38 101 <p>
paul@42 102 To have a lightweight office suite; use: Abiword as Word processor, Gnumeric as
pankso@38 103 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
pankso@38 104 </p>

pankso@44 106 <a name="multimedia"></a>
pankso@44 107 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
pankso@44 108 <p>
pankso@44 109 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
paul@45 110 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
paul@45 111 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
paul@45 112 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
paul@45 113 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble please
paul@51 114 look into the full documentation and/or use the forum.
pankso@44 115 </p>
pankso@44 116 <p>
pankso@44 117 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
paul@45 118 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
paul@45 119 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>
pankso@44 120 </p>

pankso@38 123 <h3>System information</h3>
pankso@38 124 <p>
pankso@38 125 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
paul@51 126 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on any other
paul@51 127 options brings you more information, and using the benchmarks
paul@40 128 gives you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
paul@40 129 of all your current processes you can use the "Task Manager".

pankso@38 132 <a name="root"></a>
pankso@38 133 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
pankso@38 134 <p>
paul@40 135 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@51 136 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
pankso@38 137 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
pankso@38 138 type <code>su</code>, and enter the root password.
pankso@38 139 </p>
pankso@38 140
pankso@44 141 <a name="install"></a>
pankso@38 142 <h3>Installation</h3>
pankso@38 143 <p>
paul@40 144 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
paul@40 145 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@42 146 SliTaz won't work in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 147 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 148 </p>
pankso@38 149 <p>
paul@51 150 To generate a LiveUSB system you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
paul@40 151 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
paul@40 152 Handbook: <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/liveusb.html">LiveUSB media</a>
