| - | [SliTaz GNU/Linux is distributed as a bootable LiveCD allowing you to graphically install to the hard drive and retain the use of your previous system including all settings, applications, documents, etc. The core LiveCD contains 4 different operating systems and will automatically select the one that your hardware will support. You can also select images from the menu and hit [TAB] to edit any options. The menu also provides a command line, help options, languages and the ability to webboot. The ISO image uses a 'hybrid' system which can also be directly copied (dd) onto a USB stick without formatting. SliTaz also provides the tools to remaster your LiveCD both graphically and from a command line. The SliTaz community provides many custom and preset flavors which can be downloaded from our mirrors.] | + | SliTaz GNU/Linux is distributed as a bootable LiveCD allowing you to graphically install to the hard drive and retain the use of your previous system including all settings, applications, documents, etc. The core LiveCD contains 4 different operating systems and will automatically select the one that your hardware will support.

| + | ==== Raspberry Pi ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The SliTaz port to the ARM processing architecture consists of a text mode base system and a lightweight desktop powered by JWM and the Fox toolkit. Both can be installed to a SD card by using the instructions found in the download directory. SliTaz RPi comes with its own tools including 'spk' - a tiny package manager, 'slitaz-config' - a system configuration menu and the 'tazberry' tool for RPi specific configurations. Boot scripts have been optimized for SliTaz and you will be prompted for a root password, keymap and default user on first power on. SliTaz RPi can also keep up to date with system and kernel updates and has its own [[http://arm.slitaz.org/codex/pibook.html|Pi Book]] | ||

You can experience the world wide web with instant messaging, VOIP, email and of course through a web browser. Packages can be found through the search function of Tazpkg, Tazpanel or via the website: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Iptables functions as the firewall and Rsync can be installed for incremental backup. SliTaz can of course also provide a complete development environment with the GCC 4.6.3 compiler, Geany IDE, Mercurial Repostitories and all development libraries. | ||
| + | |||
| + | SliTaz is designed to function as a powerful web server, using the stable LightTPD/PHP package (not installed by default), supporting CGI, Perl and Python. Apache, Squid and Privoxy are also available. The ability to browse the web securely using the Tor network is also supported. Packages are also checked by Cookutils to ensure the FHS is followed and packages are now built automatically by the SliTaz Build Bot: http://cook.slitaz.org/ ] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Administration ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The tool to configure the system on SliTaz 5.0 is TazPanel. It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface - which was updated for 5.0 - from where you can control your entire system such as networking, package management, adding or removing users, managing hardware, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the panel you can use the menu entry in “System Tools” or this url: http://tazpanel:82 | ||
