|-
|00:01
|Welcome to this spoken tutorial on BOSS Desktop.

|-
|00:06
|In this tutorial, we will get familiar with the BOSS Desktop environment.
|-
|00:12
|Here, I am using '''BOSS Linux 3.4.2''' with wide Indian language support & packages.

|-
|00:21
|Let me minimize the slides.

|-
|00:24
|What you are seeing here, is the BOSS Desktop.
|-
|00:28
|You can see the main menu on the top left hand side corner.
|-
|00:33
|To open this menu, press Alt+F1 keys simultaneously on your keyboard.

|-
|00:42
|Alternately, click on '''Applications''' menu.
|-
|00:46
|The Applications menu contains all the installed applications in a categorized manner.
|-
|00:54
|In this Applications menu, let us get familiar with some important applications.
|-
|01:01
|So let's go to '''Applications, Accessories, Calculator.'''
|-
|01:08
|Calculator helps perform arithmetic, scientific or financial calculations.
|-
|01:16
|Let's open the calculator by clicking on it.

|-
|01:20
|Let us try some simple calculations.
|-
|01:23
|Type 5*(into)8 and press =(equals to) sign
|-
|01:29
|Instead of pressing =(equals to) sign, you can also press the enter key
|-
|01:35
|Now exit this calculator by pressing the close button.
|-
|01:40
|Now let's look at another application.
|-
|01:43
|For that go back to '''Applications''' then go to '''Accessories.'''
|-
|01:49
|In '''Accessories''', let's open '''gedit Text Editor''' by clicking on it.
|-
|01:56
|So what you see right now on screen is the gedit Text Editor.

|-
|02:02
|Let me type some text here and save it.
|-
|02:06
|Type '''Hello World'''

|-
|02:11
|To save the file, I can press Crtl+S keys or go to '''File''' and then click on '''Save.'''

|-
|02:20
|So let me go to '''File''' and then click on '''Save.'''

|-
|02:26
|The '''Save As''' dialog box opens up.

|-
|02:29
|It prompts for filename and location in which the file has to be saved.
|-
|02:36
|So, let me type the name as '''hello.txt''' and for location I will select the '''Desktop.'''
|-
|02:47
|Click on '''Save''' button.
|-
|02:49
|Let's close this '''gedit''' window now and check whether our file is saved on the Desktopor not.
|-
|02:58
|Now come to the Desktop and you can see the file '''hello.txt''' here.

|-
|03:05
|So, our text file has got saved successfully.

|-
|03:10
|Let me open this file by double-clicking on it.

|-
|03:14
|Here is our text '''Hello World'''.
|-
|03:18
|We can type in multiple local languages, too, in the gedit text editor.

|-
|03:24
|Let us see how to do so.
|-
|03:27
|In gedit Text Editor press '''CTRL + SPACE BAR'''

|-
|03:33
|You can see a small box at the bottom right hand side.

|-
|03:39
|Click on it.
|-
|03:41
|Select Hindi.

|-
|03:43
|Inscript.

|-
|03:45
|I will type '''hello world'''.

|-
|03:49
|You can see the text has changed to Hindi Inscript.
|-
|03:53
|Now I will select '''Hindi''' then i will select '''Phonetic.'''

|-
|03:59
|I will type '''welcome''' using phonetics.

|-
|04:03
|And you can see the word '''welcome''' typed in Hindi.
|-
|04:08
|Now, Click on '''Save''' to save the changes.
|-
|04:11
|Let's close this text editor and let's see another important application from '''Accessories''' i.e '''Terminal.'''
|-
|04:20
|So let's move back to '''Applications , Accessories''' and then '''Terminal.'''
|-
|04:27
|'''Terminal''' is called command line because you can command the computer from here.

In fact, it is more powerful than the GUI.
|-
|04:40
|Now let's type a simple command to get a feel of '''Terminal.'''

|-
|04:45
|So let's type '''ls''' and press Enter.

|-
|04:50
|You can see it lists all the files and folders in the current working directory.
|-
|04:57
|Here it is displaying files and folders from the Home folder.

|-
|05:02
|We will see later in this tutorial what the Home folder is.
|-
|05:07
|Terminal commands are explained well in the subsequent Linux spoken tutorials in this series.
|-
|05:15
|Let us close the Terminal now.

|-
|05:18
|Now let's move on to another application i.e '''Iceweasel Web Browser.'''

|-
|05:25
|This is the default web browser on the BOSS Operating System.
|-
|05:30
|Click on '''Applications ; Internet ; Iceweasel Web Browser.'''
|-
|05:36
|''' Iceweasel''' is the re-branded version of; '''Firefox'''.
|-
|05:41
|Using this browser, you can access your emails or search for some information on the net.
|-
|05:49
|Let's go to the google site.

|-
|05:51
|The short-cut key to go to the address bar is F6.

|-
|05:56
|Or you can click here on the address bar.
|-
|06:00
|I will type '''www.google.co.in'''
|-
|06:07
|As I type, '''Iceweasel''' may suggest a few possibilities.

|-
|06:11
|You may choose one of these...

|-
|06:14
|... or continue to type the complete address and press Enter.
|-
|06:19
|We are now in the google search page. Let us type '''spoken tutorial''' in the search bar.
|-
|06:27
|The spoken tutorial website is listed as the first option. Let's click on it.

|-
|06:34
|This will open the spoken tutorial home page.
|-
|06:38
|So let's close this and move on.
|-
|06:42
|Now, let's click on '''Applications''' and then on '''Office.'''
|-
|06:48
|In this Office menu, we have LibreOffice options like '''Writer, Calc''' and '''Impress.'''

|-
|06:57
|These are the word processor, spreadsheet and presentation components of LibreOffice Suite.

|-
|07:04
|The Spoken Tutorial website has spoken tutorials on these topics. We suggest that you explore them.

|-
|07:12
|Next, under '''Applications''', let's explore '''Sound &Video''' menu.

|-
|07:19
|This option lists the various player options available in BOSS OS.

|-
|07:27
|You can use any of these options to play your video or audio files.
|-
|07:33
|Now, Let's see some other important things, Lets go to '''Places''' menu this time.
|-
|07:41
|The first option here is the '''Home folder'''.

|-
|07:45
|Let's open it.
|-
|07:47
|Every user has a unique '''Home folder''' in '''BOSS OS.'''
|-
|07:52
|We can say that the '''Home''' folder is our house where we can store our files and folders.

|-
|08:00
|Unless we permit, others cannot see them.

|-
|08:04
|More information on file permissions is available in the Linux spoken tutorials available on the spoken tutorial website.
|-
|08:14
|In our '''Home''' folder, we can see other folders such as '''Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music''',etc.

|-
|08:25
|In Linux, everything is a file.

|-
|08:29
|Let's open the '''Desktop''' folder by double-clicking on it.
|-
|08:35
|Hey, we can see that the same '''hello.txt''' file what we saved from gedit text editor is here.

|-
|08:44
|So this folder and the Desktop are the same.

|-
|08:49
|Let me close this folder now.
|-
|08:52
|Let's learn to change the Desktop theme now.
|-
|08:55
|Go to the right hand side corner and click on the username displayed there.

|-
|09:02
|In my case, the username is '''spoken.''' So, I will click on '''spoken.'''

|-
|09:09
|Now, click on '''System Settings''' option.
|-
|09:13
|The '''System Settings''' dialog box opens up.
|-
|09:16
|Click on '''Background icon.'''
|-
|09:19
|Choose any background from the list displayed.

|-
|09:23
|It will appear as your new background.
|-
|09:27
|Close this dialog box.

|-
|09:29
|Now, we will come to the System Tools option available under Applications menu.
|-
|09:36
|This menu has many important options, which help you to manage your desktop and the various applications.
|-
|09:44
|Click on '''System tools, Administration''' and '''Synaptic Package Manager.'''
|-
|09:51
|It will immediately prompt you for the admin password for authentication.

|-
|09:57
|Type in your admin password and click on '''Authenticate''' button.

|-
|10:02
|Details on how to use '''Synaptic Package Manager''' is available in a separate tutorial in this series.
|-
|10:10
|This bring to the end of this tutorial.
