45 <h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
46 <p>
47 SliTaz is proud to provide Mozilla Firefox, one of the world's best web
48 browsers. It is secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
49 system of <em>plugins</em>.
50 To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu --->
51 Internet --> Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden
52 (dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.
53 </p>
54 <p>
55 Tip: When you combine LiveCD with USB media, you can keep your bookmarks and plugins wherever you go.
56 </p>
58 <a name="retawq"></a>
59 <h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
60 <p>
61 All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
62 can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
63 the menu ---> Internet --> Retawq. To
64 start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
65 </p>
66 <pre> $ retawq
67 $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
68 </pre>
69 <p>
70 The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
71 editor. Pressing <b> will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
72 and the <h> key will display the home page.
73 </p>
75 <a name="links"></a>
76 <h3>Links - Graphical & Text browser</h3>
77 <p>
78 Links was the first graphical web browser on the SliTaz LiveCD, it has since been replaced
79 by Firefox, but Links is always available as a package:
80 </p>
81 <pre> # tazpkg get-install links
82 </pre>
83 <p>
84 Links offers a graphical and a text mode. To use the graphical mode, we can use the option <code>-g</code>:
85 </p>
86 <pre> $ links -g &
87 $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &
88 $ links
89 </pre>
90 <p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, though it's not advisable
91 to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
92 the toolbar at the top, where you can configure the languages,
93 bookmarks, etc. When you change options, you must save them via the menu
94 bar --> Configuration --> Save options.

98 <h3>LostIRC - IRC chat client</h3>
99 <p>LostIRC is a simple, yet useful IRC client that supports multiple
100 servers and automatic joining of servers/channels. The configuration
101 files are located in ~/.lostirc. Simply select from the menu -->
102 Internet --> LostIRC. The documentation on the
103 <a href="http://lostirc.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=about">website</a> contains a lot of
104 useful information.

111 <h3>Ghost In The Mail - Email client</h3>
112 <p>
113 To send messages quickly without having to set up an email account, you
114 can use Ghost In The Mail (gitmail). The minimal mail client offers a
115 simple GTK interface and supports attachments. It allows you to send
116 mail using SMTP with your existing mail account. You will find gitmail
117 via the menu --> Internet --> Ghost In The Mail.
118 </p>
120 <a name="transmission"></a>
121 <h3>Transmission - Lightweight BitTorrent client</h3>
122 <p>Transmission is a GTK+ BitTorrent client that is fast, light and easy
123 to use. It offers a 'Preferences' option which allows you to limit the
124 rate of uploads/downloads, specify port, download folders, etc. You will
125 find Transmission via the menu --> Internet --> Transmission.

129 <a name="gftp"></a>
130 <h3>gFTP - FTP client</h3>
131 <p>
132 The gFTP application is a fast, ergonomic client for FTP transfers. It
133 can resume interrupted transfers, manage bookmarks (favorites) and FTP
134 or HTTP proxies. In addition
135 gFTP supports the use of drag and drop, can make
136 several transfers at the same time, compares windows, remembers
137 passwords and can even define external applications for viewing or editing
138 files. On SliTaz, you will find gFTP via the menu --> Internet
139 -->
140 gFTP.
