66 <h2>Getting started</h2>
68 <a name="tazpanel"></a>
69 <h3>SliTaz Panel</h3>
70 <p>
71 From spring 2011 the new way (and tool) to configure the system is TazPanel.
72 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
73 can control your entire system, this includes package management, adding or
74 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides
75 a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the
76 panel you can use the menu entry in "System Tools" or this url:
77 </p>
78 <p>
79 <a href="http://tazpanel:82">http://tazpanel:82</a>
80 </p>
82 <a name="network"></a>
83 <h3>Network connections</h3>
84 <p>
85 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then
86 "Configure" and the network manager (netbox) will come up. You can then
87 go to the "DHCP" tab and click "Start", and Slitaz will send a DHCP request
88 to the local router. You may also setup a static IP, PPPoE, PPP, VPN and
89 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
90 connection, you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
91 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks
92 connections".
93 </p>
94 <p>
95 More detailed information can be found in the Handbook:
96 <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:networkconf"
97 >Network configuration</a>
98 </p>
100 <a name="apps"></a>
101 <h3>Applications</h3>
102 <p>
103 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
104 at the bottom left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
105 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. And to have
106 a list of all installed packages, you can launch the package manager user interface
107 from the Lxpanel icon or by using the "System Tools" menu entry. To install any new packages,
108 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
109 containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
110 can also be done from the command line and <code>tazpkg</code>.
111 </p>
113 <a name="office"></a>
114 <h3>Office suite</h3>
115 <p>
116 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
117 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
118 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
119 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
120 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
121 enabled.
122 </p>
123 <p>
124 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword as the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
125 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
126 </p>
128 <a name="multimedia"></a>
129 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
130 <p>
131 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
132 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
133 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
134 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
135 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
136 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.
137 </p>
138 <p>
139 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
140 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
141 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.
142 </p>
144 <a name="info"></a>
145 <h3>System information</h3>
146 <p>
147 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
148 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
149 buttons offers you more information, and using the benchmarks can
150 give you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
151 of all your current processes, you can use the "Task Manager".
152 </p>
154 <a name="root"></a>
155 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
156 <p>
157 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
158 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
159 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
160 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
161 </p>
163 <a name="install"></a>
164 <h3>Installation</h3>
165 <p>
166 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
167 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
168 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
169 everything is persistent.
170 </p>
171 <p>
172 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
173 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
174 Handbook: <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>
