48 <h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
49 <p>
50 SliTaz is proud to provide Mozilla Firefox, one of the world's best web
51 browsers. It is secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
52 system of <em>plugins</em>.
53 To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu --->
54 Internet --> Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden
55 (dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.
56 </p>
57 <p>
58 Tip: When you combine LiveCD with USB media, you can keep your bookmarks and plugins wherever you go.
59 </p>
61 <a name="midori"></a>
62 <h3>Midori - Lightweight web browser</h3>
63 <p>
64 Midori is a lightweight web browser with very fast page rendering
65 through the rendering engine Webkit. This is a serious alternative to
66 Firefox for systems with low resources or those seeking a fast and sleek
67 alternative. It supports most web standards, CSS stylesheets and images.
68 Midori is configurable via a small interface and is located in the
69 'Internet' menu once installed.
70 </p>
72 <a name="retawq"></a>
73 <h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
74 <p>
75 All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
76 can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
77 the menu ---> Internet --> Retawq. To
78 start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
79 </p>
80 <pre> $ retawq
81 $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
82 </pre>
83 <p>
84 The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
85 editor. Pressing <b> will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
86 and the <h> key will display the home page.
87 </p>
89 <a name="links"></a>
90 <h3>Links - Graphical & Text browser</h3>
91 <p>
92 Links was the first graphical web browser on the SliTaz LiveCD, it has since been replaced
93 by Firefox, but Links is always available as a package:
94 </p>
95 <pre> # tazpkg get-install links
96 </pre>
97 <p>
98 Links offers a graphical and a text mode. To use the graphical mode, we can use the option <code>-g</code>:
99 </p>
100 <pre> $ links -g &
101 $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &
102 $ links
103 </pre>
104 <p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, though it's not advisable
105 to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
106 the toolbar at the top, where you can configure the languages,
107 bookmarks, etc. When you change options, you must save them via the menu
108 bar --> Configuration --> Save options.

117 <a href="http://lostirc.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=about">website</a> contains a lot of
118 useful information.

157 or HTTP proxies. In addition
158 gFTP supports the use of drag and drop, can make
159 several transfers at the same time, compares windows, remembers
