1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Right.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So now that we have tills installed and we learned how to boot into it and this lecture, I want to

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
give you a basic overview on this operating system.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So first of all, on the top here we have the status bar.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000
On the top left we have the applications menu, which contains a number of application categories nicely

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000
in terms of what they can be used for and the favorites you have your programs that you'll probably

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
be using most of the time.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
We have the Tor browser, which we already know what it is and what it can be used for.

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
We have Thunderbird, which is an email client.

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
We have Pidgin, which is an instant messenger that can be configured to not keep any traces of you.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
We have a password manager and we have a terminal which we can use to run Linux commands.

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
You can actually go through all of these and get familiar with all of the offered programs on the Internet.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Here again, we have some of the programs that I just showed you.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
We also have Electron, which is a Bitcoin wallet.

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
You have office programs, labor office that you can use instead of Microsoft Office Word.

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
You have media programs and all the usual stuff that you see on different operating systems.

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Now, don't worry about all of the strange programs that you don't know in here.

18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
We will be using a lot of them as we go through the course.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
So right now, I'm just giving you a basic overview of the whole operating system.

20
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
That's why I'm not going to be running any of them.

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Beside the applications we have the Places menu, which will allow you to access different folders in

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
your file system.

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
So as you can see, if we click on the home, we will actually get a file manager in the home directory.

24
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
As you can see in here, you'll get to this exact location if you just double click the home icon in

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
here.

26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So again, as you can see here, we have a number of files similar to what you get with Windows.

27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
So we have documents, downloads, music, pictures and so on.

28
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Again, you can access each of these directories individually by going to places and just clicking on

29
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
the directory that you want to access.

30
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Now it goes without saying.

31
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
You can also navigate to this through this menu.

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
You can double click a directory to open it and double click a file to execute it or to open it with

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
its default program.

34
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Right click to create new directory to copy and paste to get properties.

35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
So it's all intuitive and it's all very, very similar to what you get with other operating systems.

36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Now another really cool feature with tales is the fact that it supports multiple desktops.

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
So right now we have a workspace right here, and let's say this workspace gets cluttered with a lot

38
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
of applications, a lot of open windows.

39
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
So let's open another window, for example, on documents.

40
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
And let's say you already you also have a browser and you want to do more stuff than you can actually

41
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
press control, alt and down to go to a new workspace.

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
And right here I have an empty workspace which I can do more work in.

43
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
So again, I can go to places and open something else here and I can do some work.

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000
For example, I can have my web browser in here and then control alt up to go to the first workspace.

45
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
This one with the windows already open in here.

46
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Not only that, but you can also press the Windows button or the left command and se on OS x.

47
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000
This will reveal the activity menu which will first of all show you the open windows in the current

48
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
workspace.

49
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
It will also show you the available workspaces here on the right so I can click in here to go to the

50
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
second workspace where I had my music open again.

51
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Click on this one to go to the first one and then click on the last one to go to the last workspace.

52
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
So instead of pressing control, alt up and down, you can navigate through the workspaces like this.

53
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And also you can see the running applications.

54
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Not only that, but you can also see your favorite applications in here and a nice dock on the left.

55
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000
And you can press on this icon right here to get a list of all the applications installed on tables.

56
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
So right here we have all of the other applications that we were navigating to through the applications

57
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,000
menu.

58
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And if you can't find your application here or if you want to access it quickly, you can literally

59
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
just type its name using the keyboard.

60
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000
So if I just type tore, it will bring me all of the applications that have the water in them.

61
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
So this is really, really handy.

62
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Again, this is the activity view and you can access this by pressing the Windows button on Windows

63
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000
computers or the right cmd and SE on OS X computers.

64
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000
I'm going to press escape to exit this and we're back at the main desktop.

65
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Now, I think this is enough for this lecture.

66
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
In the next lecture, I'll continue covering the basics of tails.

67
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I'll show you how to see the notifications, how to edit the preferences, how to connect to networks

68
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
and so on.
