|
|
paul@332
|
47 clex is fast and easy to use and can be configured through the files
|
|
paul@332
|
48 ~/.clexrc and ~/.clexbm (bookmarks) or via the panel (ctrl -g).
|
|
paul@332
|
49 To start clex from a terminal or console:
|
|
paul@63
|
50 </p>
|
|

|
57 <p>
|
|
paul@332
|
58 PCmanFM is a file manager providing many useful functions for daily tasks
|
|
paul@332
|
59 such as managing devices, opening terminals in the current directory,

|
|
paul@332
|
64 full list of options:

|
|
paul@63
|
66 </p>
|
|
paul@63
|
67 <p>
|
|
paul@332
|
68 The context menu (right click on file/directory) makes it easy to unpack
|
|
paul@332
|
69 <code>.taz .gz</code> archives, compress and create archives. PCmanFM

74 <h3>Htop - View system processes</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
75 <p>
|
|
paul@332
|
76 Htop is a system process viewer that displays cpu load, memory state (RAM)
|
|
paul@332
|
77 and swap used. It can also display the number of tasks, uptime and PIDs
|
|
paul@332
|
78 of active processes. Htop can be used with the keyboard in console mode,
|
|
paul@332
|
79 the mouse with a X terminal (xterm) and provides configuration options (F2).
|
|
paul@332
|
80 Htop can also kill processes - you can select items with the up/down
|
|
paul@332
|
81 arrows or a mouse click. Note htop also functions via SSH and can be used
|
|
paul@332
|
82 to monitor a remote server:
|
|
paul@63
|

|
|
paul@63
|

89 <h3>Mountbox - Mount devices</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
90 <p>
|
|
paul@332
|
91 Mountbox is a small GTK+ application to quickly mount media such as a
|
|
paul@332
|
92 USB drive, hard drive or cdrom. Mountbox can be launched from a terminal
|
|
paul@332
|
93 or via the Tools menu (System Tools). Simply specify the peripheral
|
|
paul@332
|
94 (Device) and the mount point, ie. the directory where you want to access
|
|
paul@332
|
95 the media in question. Typically a CD is mounted on /media/cdrom, a USB
|
|
paul@332
|
96 key on /media/flash and disk drives on the local machine on /mnt. Note
|
|
paul@332
|
97 the <a href="system-admin.html#devices">Handbook</a> also contains more
|
|
paul@332
|
98 information.

102 <h3>Gparted - Partition a hard drive</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
103 <p>
|
|
paul@332
|
104 Gparted is a graphical application making it possible to manage the
|
|
paul@332
|
105 partitions of a local hard drive or USB media. It allows you to reformat,
|
|
paul@332
|
106 resize or check a partition on a hard drive and is the tool of choice if
|
|
paul@332
|
107 you need to prepare a partition to install SliTaz. Gparted supports proper
|
|
paul@332
|
108 GNU/Linux filesystems (ext2 and ext3) via mkfs, and Parted automatically
|
|
paul@332
|
109 handles dependancies.

|
|
paul@332

|
|
paul@332
|
117 <code>ntfsprogs</code>.
