00:01 Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on how to use the low cost FOSSEE Netbook, piloted at IIT Bombay.
00:09 In this tutorial, we will learn about:
00:12 the desktop of the FOSSEE Netbook,
00:14 some of the programs that it comes with and
00:17 how to update its operating system with newer releases.
00:22 We refer to it as the FOSSEE Netbook because
00:26 The FOSSEE Team:* came up with suitable specifications for it.
00:30 Tweaked the operating system
00:32 Came up with a software distribution and
00:35 provides updates and training.
00:38 The operating system is derived from the latest release of Ubuntu Linux.
00:43 The FOSSEE Netbook is a low cost laptop piloted at IIT Bombay.
00:49 Manufactured to its specifications by Basics Comtech Pvt. Ltd.
00:55 Has been designed for education and research.
00:58 And costs about Rs. 5,000 plus customs, taxes, etc.
01:03 To record this tutorial, I am using a FOSSEE Netbook
01:08 FOSSEE distribution of the GNU/Linux Operating System and
01:12 Kazam screen recorder version 1.4.5.
01:17 Let's now have a look at the FOSSEE Netbook.
01:20 This is what the FOSSEE Netbook looks like.
01:24 It is about 700gms in weight.
01:28 It has a 10 inch display and a touch-pad.
01:31 Has a front camera and two built-in speakers.

01:56 It has a 5000 mAH battery.
01:59 It gives about 4 to 8 hours of backup, depending on the program used.
02:04 It has 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM.

02:11 For more details about the hardware specifications, please visit http://netbook.fossee.in
02:19 For recovery/update/re-installation of FOSSEE OS, user should do the following.
02:25 Prepare the sdcard with instructions provided in netbook.fossee.in/recovery.
02:33 Poweroff the FOSSEE Netbook.
02:35 Insert the sdcard in the slot and then long press the Power key.
02:41 The screen should show a text message "Entering recovery mode...".
02:46 Select the appropriate option shown in the next screen.
02:51 What you see here is the Desktop of the FOSSEE Netbook with the FOSSEE OS.
02:57 By default, you will see some icons on the Desktop.
03:01 As with any computer, double-clicking on any icon will open the related application.
03:09 Here, at the bottom right, is the Network connection icon.
03:15 Currently it says “No network connection".
03:18 Let's learn how to connect to a network.
03:21 For wi-fi connections, simply click on the icon.
03:25 A list of already available connections is displayed.
03:30 You can connect to any one of them provided you know the wi-fi network password.
03:35 I will choose one of the available networks on my machine.
03:40 And then type the password and click on Connect button.
03:46 Notice the Network icon in the System Tray.
03:50 The icon has now changed.
03:52 It mentions the name of the network that I am now connected to.
03:57 Let's now turn our attention to the bottom left corner of the Desktop.
04:03 Here we find the Start menu which is the main menu.
04:07 The Start menu lists all the available software and applications in a categorized manner.
04:14 Click each category to know which software or applications are listed.
