pankso@102 68 <h3>SliTaz Panel</h3>
pankso@102 69 <p>
pankso@102 70 From spring 2011 the new way and tool to configure the système is TazPanel.
pankso@102 71 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
pankso@102 72 can control your entire system such as package management, adding or
pankso@102 73 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provide
pankso@102 74 small descriptions to help you manage your SliTaz system, to access the
pankso@102 75 panel you can use the menu entry in "System Tools" or this url:

paul@40 82 <h3>Network connections</h3>
pankso@30 83 <p>
paul@51 84 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then
paul@51 85 "Configure" and the network manager (netbox) will come up. You can then
paul@40 86 go to the "DHCP" tab and click "Start", and Slitaz will send a DHCP request
paul@40 87 to the local router. You may also setup a static IP, PPPoE, PPP, VPN and
paul@96 88 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
paul@97 89 connection, you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
paul@94 90 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks
paul@94 91 connections".

pankso@38 100 <h3>Applications</h3>
pankso@38 101 <p>
paul@97 102 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
paul@97 103 at the bottom left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
paul@40 104 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. And to have
paul@97 105 a list of all installed packages, you can launch the package manager user interface
paul@97 106 from the Lxpanel icon or by using the "System Tools" menu entry. To install any new packages,
pankso@44 107 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
paul@96 108 containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
pankso@44 109 can also be done from the command line and <code>tazpkg</code>.
pankso@38 110 </p>

pankso@38 113 <h3>Office suite</h3>
pankso@38 114 <p>
paul@40 115 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
paul@40 116 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
paul@51 117 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
paul@51 118 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
paul@40 119 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
paul@40 120 enabled.
pankso@38 121 </p>
pankso@38 122 <p>
paul@96 123 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword for the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
pankso@38 124 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
pankso@38 125 </p>
pankso@38 126
pankso@44 127 <a name="multimedia"></a>
pankso@44 128 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
pankso@44 129 <p>
pankso@44 130 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
paul@45 131 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
paul@45 132 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
paul@45 133 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
paul@96 134 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
paul@94 135 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.
pankso@44 136 </p>
pankso@44 137 <p>
pankso@44 138 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
paul@45 139 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
paul@96 140 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.
pankso@44 141 </p>

pankso@38 143 <a name="info"></a>
pankso@38 144 <h3>System information</h3>
pankso@38 145 <p>
pankso@38 146 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
paul@52 147 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
paul@96 148 buttons offers you more information, and using the benchmarks can
paul@94 149 give you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
paul@97 150 of all your current processes, you can use the "Task Manager".
pankso@38 151 </p>
pankso@38 152
pankso@38 153 <a name="root"></a>
pankso@38 154 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
pankso@38 155 <p>
paul@40 156 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@51 157 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
pankso@38 158 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
paul@96 159 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
pankso@38 160 </p>
pankso@38 161
pankso@44 162 <a name="install"></a>
pankso@38 163 <h3>Installation</h3>
pankso@38 164 <p>
paul@40 165 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
paul@40 166 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@96 167 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 168 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 169 </p>
pankso@38 170 <p>
paul@97 171 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
paul@40 172 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
claudinei@65 173 Handbook: <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>
