    1.47  
    1.48 -<h3>Toolchain and build tools</h3>
    1.49 -<p>
    1.50 -	Slitaz 4.0 has been built with our new build tools aka cookutils. We
    1.51 -	have created new tools which handle the ~3300 packages dependencies 
    1.52 -	in a simple and consistent way. The cookutils let you also create new 
    1.53 -	Slitaz packages faster than ever. The tools are installed on each 
    1.54 -	SliTaz system as well as any supporting documentation.
    1.55 -</p>
    1.56  
    1.57 -<h3>Supported Hardware</h3>
    1.58 -<p>
    1.59 -	SliTaz GNU/Linux 4.0 supports most machines based on i486 or x86 Intel
    1.60 -	compatible processors. A minimum of 192MB of memory is recommended to
    1.61 -	use the core LiveCD and our new russian dolls system will automatically
    1.62 -	detect your memory to boot a low memory resource flavor if needed. The 
    1.63 -	default LiveCD provides the Core system which is a fully featured desktop,
    1.64 -	a GTK only desktop, a flavor with just X windows and a text mode 
    1.65 -	system which will run with only 48 MB RAM (but can still let you 
    1.66 -	install a full desktop).
    1.67 -</p>
    1.68 -
    1.69 -
    1.70 -<h3>Live systems</h3>
    1.71 -<p>
    1.72 -	SliTaz 4.0 core LiveCD provides in fact 4 versions and will use the one 
    1.73 -	your hardware can support. The live CD holds several SliTaz nested subsets.
    1.74 -	The boot loader selects the most features that your computer memory can 
    1.75 -	access. You can also select an image from the menu and hit [tab] to edit
    1.76 -	any options. A command line, the ability to webboot, help options and
    1.77 -	languages are also available from the menu. Now people with very little
    1.78 -	RAM can boot the Live CD, but probably in text mode. A full install can
    1.79 -	now be performed to hard disk directly from the Live CD using text mode
    1.80 -	with only 48MB ram.
    1.81 -</p>
    1.82 -
    1.83 -
    1.84 -<h3>Installation</h3>
    1.85 -<p>
    1.86 -	The installation is fully automated and can be done graphically or in
    1.87 -	text mode. Tazinst is a lightweight SliTaz HDD installer. It installs
    1.88 -	SliTaz to a hard drive from a Live-CD, a LiveUSB key, a SliTaz
    1.89 -	ISO image, or from the web (using Tazpanel) by downloading a stable,
    1.90 -	cooking or rolling version. The prerequisite material and other useful
    1.91 -	information can be found in the Manual and Handbook.
    1.92 -</p>
    1.93 -<p>
    1.94 -	If you want to partition a disk before installation, you can quickly
    1.95 -	use Gparted in LiveCD mode or use a flavor containing the partitioning
    1.96 -	tool. At the end of the installation it is possible to setup the "GRUB"
    1.97 -	bootloader which is capable of starting almost any operating system.
    1.98 -	This allows SliTaz to co-exist with a previously installed operating
    1.99 -	system, such as Windows. 
   1.100 -</p>
   1.101 -
   1.102 -
   1.103 -<h3>Packages</h3>
   1.104 -<p>
   1.105 -	Among the 3350 packages available in SliTaz 4.0 you will find anything you
   1.106 -	need to transform your machine to a complete graphical desktop (e17), a
   1.107 -	graphics studio with The Gimp or Inkscape, or to a video editor with Kino.
   1.108 -	You can experience the world wide web with instant messaging, VOIP, email
   1.109 -	and of course through a web browser. Packages can be found through the
   1.110 -	search function of Tazpkg, Tazpanel or via the website: 
   1.111 -	<a href="http://pkgs.slitaz.org/" target="_blank">http://pkgs.slitaz.org/</a>
   1.112 -</p>
   1.113 -<p>
   1.114 -	SliTaz is designed to function as a powerful web server, using the stable
   1.115 -	LightTPD/PHP package (not installed by default), supporting CGI, Perl
   1.116 -	and Python. Apache and Squid are also available. The ability to browse
   1.117 -	the web securely using the Tor network is also supported.
   1.118 -</p>
   1.119 -<p>
   1.120 -	SliTaz can of course also provide a complete development environment with
   1.121 -	the GCC compiler, Geany IDE, Mercurial Repositories and all development 
   1.122 -	libraries. 
   1.123 -</p>
   1.124 -<p>
   1.125 -	Packages are now built automatically by the SliTaz Build Bot: 
   1.126 -	<a href="http://cook.slitaz.org/" target="_blank">http://cook.slitaz.org/</a> and are checked
   1.127 -	by Cookutils to ensure that FHS standards are followed.
   1.128 -</p>
   1.129 -
   1.130 -<h3>Administration</h3>
   1.131 -<p>
   1.132 -	The new way and tool to configure the system on SliTaz 4.0 is TazPanel.
   1.133 -	It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where
   1.134 -	you can control your entire system such as package management, adding
   1.135 -	or removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page
   1.136 -	provides a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system.
   1.137 -	To access the panel you can use the menu entry in “System Tools” or
   1.138 -	this url: <a href="http://tazpanel:82" target="_blank">http://tazpanel:82</a>
   1.139 -</p>
   1.140 -
   1.141 -<h3>Core Desktop</h3>
   1.142 -<p>
   1.143 -	A lot of attention has been paid the the core desktop. All applications
   1.144 -	are well integrated and a special SliTaz theme (including icons, Openbox,
   1.145 -	GTK) has been created.
   1.146 -</p>
   1.147 -<p>
   1.148 -	By default, the SliTaz LiveCD uses the very light and stable Openbox
   1.149 -	window manager. Openbox is widely themeable and configurable using the
   1.150 -	ObConf utility. The integration of the taskbar “LXpanel” makes it
   1.151 -	possible to dynamically provide a menu based on the Freedesktop
   1.152 -	standards. The principle is to have a small menu accessible via a
   1.153 -	screen click with the favorites, windows effects, LiveCD and LiveUSB 
   1.154 -	tools, Openbox configuration and system actions made available. Applications
   1.155 -	can also be accessed through the menu supplied by LXpanel. The managment
   1.156 -	of the Desktop and icons are entrusted to the file manager PCmanFM.
   1.157 -</p>
   1.158 -<p>
   1.159 -	Through the support of a LiveCD flavor or an installed system you can
   1.160 -	install the Enlightenment (e17) desktop environment or the window
   1.161 -	managers XFCE, Pekwm, JWM and DWM. The different sessions can be
   1.162 -	selected via the F1 key when using the “Slim” login window. To change
   1.163 -	the default session you can use tazx; or manually edit the
   1.164 -	~/.Xinitrc file. 
   1.165 -</p>
   1.166 -
   1.167 -<h3>SliTaz network</h3>
   1.168 -<p>
   1.169 -	All services have been changed and improved since 3.0 and a SliTaz
   1.170 -	community network has been created to help users, contributors and 
   1.171 -	developers come together to share ideas about the project.
   1.172 -	This includes a community board, wiki based documentation, a forum 
   1.173 -	and a bug tracker. Now developers, artists, documentation writers, 
   1.174 -	bug reporters and anybody with a good suggestion can help others, 
   1.175 -	get involved and work together to improve the project. The SliTaz 
   1.176 -	community network (SCN), website and repos all combine the same 
   1.177 -	graphical layout for easy navigation.
   1.178 -</p>
   1.179 -
   1.180 -<h3>From 3.0 to 4.0</h3>
   1.181 -<p>
   1.182 -	A SliTaz GNU/Linux installer offers an update function allowing you 
   1.183 -	to upgrade from a 3.0 to 4.0 version. To upgrade the system you 
   1.184 -	first need to boot the Stable LiveCD, launch the installer from the 
   1.185 -	command line or Tazpanel, select upgrade and then specify the 
   1.186 -	partition or configuration file containing the system that you want 
   1.187 -	to update. The installer will then clean out the system and reinstall
   1.188 -	all the packages not present on the CD from the mirror. When this has 
   1.189 -	finished you can reboot with your new version of SliTaz.
   1.190 -</p>
   1.191 -<p>
   1.192 -	To upgrade a 3.0 to 4.0 it is also possible to use the package manager Tazpkg
   1.193 -	via the set-release function, but beware this is not yet proven and may 
   1.194 -	require some manual intervention.
   1.195 -</p>
   1.196 -
   1.197 -<h3>People of the Project</h3>
   1.198 -<p>
   1.199 -	SliTaz is proud to be an international community project. The people of 
   1.200 -	the project are the ones who develop the distribution, correct the website,
   1.201 -	develop the HG repositories and write the official documentation. Passing
