35 The Cooking version doesn't provide any Release Notes, major changes are
36 announced on the web site and the <a href="http://scn.slitaz.org/">Blog</a>
37 provides fresh news about the project's activity. Like the stable version,
38 you can find <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/">documentation</a> on the
39 wiki site and support on the community
40 <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum</a>.

43 <p>
44 The SliTaz GNU/Linux stable release is published with the project tools,
45 manuals and <a href="relnotes.en.html">Release Notes</a> installed on
46 the system. Manuals and this page are accessible through the standard menu.
47 Please check the <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/">project page</a> for
48 general information about SliTaz.

60 <h2 id="start">Getting started</h2>
63 <h3 id="tazpanel">SliTaz Panel</h3>
64 <p>
65 From spring 2011 the new way (and tool) to configure the system is TazPanel.
66 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
67 can control your entire system, this includes package management, adding or
68 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides
69 a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the
70 panel you can use the menu entry in “System Tools” or this URL:
71 </p>
72 <p>
73 <a href="http://tazpanel:82">http://tazpanel:82</a>
74 </p>
75 <p>
76 While some actions in the panel are available to the user, others require
77 administrator rights. On the right side of the TazPanel menu you can find
78 an icon, prompting the current operating mode:
79 </p>
80 <ul>
81 <li><span style="color:#859900"></span> for user mode;</li>
82 <li><span style="color:#cb4b16"></span> for administration mode.</li>
83 </ul>
84 <p>
85 Please point the mouse cursor over the icon to show more information; then click the icon
86 to log into TazPanel as a different user or as root administrator.
87 </p>
91 <h3 id="network">Network connections</h3>
93 <p>
94 Open Tazpanel and click the “Network” →
95 “<a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi">Summary</a>” menu entry.
96 This shows a basic overview of your networking interfaces and their states.
97 </p>
98 <p>
99 To configure your Ethernet device, click the “Network” →
100 “<a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi?eth">Ethernet</a>”.
101 From here you can configure (with administrator privileges) your device
102 to use DHCP or a static address.
103 </p>
104 <p>
105 To configure Wireless devices, click the “Network” →
106 “<a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi?wifi">Wireless</a>”.
107 Here you can select a network to connect to (with administrator privileges).
108 When you click on the desired network, the Connection box underneath will be
109 appropriately filled in.
110 Next, enter your passphrase or leave the field blank for none.
111 Finally, click the Configure button to apply settings.
112 </p>
113 <p>
114 More detailed information can be found in the Handbook:
115 <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:networkconf">Network configuration</a>.
116 </p>
119 <h3 id="apps">Applications</h3>
121 <p>
122 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
123 at the top left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
124 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button.
125 </p>
126 <p>
127 Tazpanel provides
128 a nice GUI for package management through the
129 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi">Packages</a> tab. To retrieve a list of all
130 installed packages, open Tazpanel and navigate to the
131 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi?list">My Packages</a> page.
132 </p>
133 <p>
134 To install new
135 packages, you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or a USB storage
136 device containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
137 can also be done from the command line using <code>tazpkg</code>.
138 </p>
139 <p>
140 Another option to query the packages database online is to use
141 <a href="http://pkgs.slitaz.org/">pkgs.slitaz.org</a> in a graphical web browser
142 on any of your devices. You can see screenshots of applications and even install
143 or remove a package if the site is opened in SliTaz.
144 </p>
147 <h3 id="office">Office suite</h3>
149 <p>
150 The SliTaz packages database provides a variety of lightweight office applications.
151 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
152 manager in Tazpanel. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
153 LibreOffice suite: just search for “LibreOffice” in the packages manager, click
154 on “get-LibreOffice”, and click Install (to install and remove packages you
155 need administrator privileges).
156 </p>
157 <p>
158 To have a lightweight office suite: just use
159 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=abiword">Abiword</a>
160 as the Word processor,
161 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=gnumeric">Gnumeric</a>
162 as a spreadsheet and
163 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=homebank">Homebank</a>
164 for Bank Accounting.
165 </p>
168 <h3 id="multimedia">Multimedia</h3>
170 <p>
171 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
172 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
173 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
174 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
175 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
176 check the full documentation and/or use the <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum</a>.
177 </p>
178 <p>
179 Videos using common HTML5 codecs such as WEBM or MPEG4 can be watched out-of-the-box.
180 Other videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
181 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
182 available under GNU/Linux:
183 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=mplayer">MPlayer</a>,
184 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=xine-ui">Xine-UI</a> and
185 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=vlc">VLC</a>.
186 </p>
189 <h3 id="root">Becoming Root</h3>
191 <p>
192 By default, SliTaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
193 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
194 Therefore, it is safer and more secure.
195 </p>
196 <p>
197 To become root in an xterm, simply type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
198 To run a graphical application as root, use <code>subox</code>.
199 For example, to run leafpad as root you would run <code>subox leafpad</code>.
200 </p>
203 <h3 id="install">Installation</h3>
205 <p>
206 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
207 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/installer.cgi">SliTaz Installer</a> in Tazpanel.
208 The installer makes a full HD install.
209 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
210 everything is persistent.
211 </p>
212 <p>
213 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the “Tazusb LiveUSB Tool” from
214 the “System Tools” menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More
215 information can be found in the SliTaz Handbook:
216 <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>.
