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

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

115 can use Ghost In The Mail (gitmail). The minimal mail client offers a
116 simple GTK interface and supports attachments. It allows you to send
117 mail using SMTP with your existing mail account. You will find gitmail
118 via the menu --> Internet --> Ghost In The Mail.

122 <h3>Sylpheed - Mail Client</h3>
123 <p>

125 reliable and easy to use, it offers powerful search and filters, and junk mail control.
126 </p>

131 <h3>Transmission - Lightweight BitTorrent client</h3>
132 <p>Transmission is a GTK+ BitTorrent client that is fast, light and easy
133 to use. It offers a 'Preferences' option which allows you to limit the
134 rate of uploads/downloads, specify port, download folders, etc. You will
135 find Transmission via the menu --> Internet --> Transmission.

141 <p>
142 The gFTP application is a fast, ergonomic client for FTP transfers. It
143 can resume interrupted transfers, manage bookmarks (favorites) and FTP
144 or HTTP proxies. In addition
145 gFTP supports the use of drag and drop, can make
146 several transfers at the same time, compares windows, remembers
147 passwords and can even define external applications for viewing or editing
148 files. On SliTaz, you will find gFTP via the menu --> Internet
