1.1 Starting SLED
When you start SLED, you are prompted to enter your username and password. This is the username
and password you created when you installed SLED. If you did not install SLED, check with your
system administrator for the username and password.
The login has three menu items:
• Login Prompt: Enter your username and password to log in.
• Session: Specify the desktop to run during your session. If other desktops are installed, they
appear in the list.
• Actions: Perform a system action, such as shut down the computer, reboot the computer, or
configure the Login Manager.

1.1.1 What Is a Session?
A session is the period of time from when you log in to when you log out. The login screen offers
several login options. For example, you can select the language of your session so that text that
appears in the SLED interface is presented in that language.
