Setting up the Internet requires two things. First, invoking "System settings" applet and adding your network card there. There is a wide list of supported cards, from ISA and PCI to PCMCIA. Then, there is a separate applet called "Network settings" that is used just for IPv4 settings - set up your IP and DNS there. It doesn't seem to support DHCP.

After that, you need to create a "Browser document" that will allow you to access some of the web over HTTP. The default site is chokanji's home page.

The browser is quite basic, with GIF/JPEG and some table support, but generally it feels close to Links than to even Internet Explorer. Google works, but HTTPS sites won't. It IS pretty cute.

And that's basically it. This is all B-right/V Business TRON OS implementation has to offer. To shutdown your computer, RMB click main "Chokanji" window and choose "Close". It will create a pop-up "Do you want to finish?", and after that the only things left will be KITTENS and a dialogue window "Chokanji has been shut down. Reboot. Finish". Kittens will follow your mouse, but they always stop at pop-up window boundaries, it seem. That leaves them helpless against surprise belly rubs, highly recommend.

After you press "Finish", the screen will show white text on the black screen: "Please turn off the power switch".

It's time to make some green tea and reflect on all the incredible software that we use daily and don't notice. Don't get me wrong, there is massive difference between desktop B-TRON, embedded I-TRON, and Nucleus on phones and cameras... But it is more ubiquitous than JAVA, and yet almost no one knows about it.

@nina_kali_nina hmm if this system is so ubiquitous, we need to ask the important question:

does TRON fight for the Users?
