Slax, the mythical portable distro based on Slackware, is available for download, Release Candidate 1, which has many applications of its own. KDE (kde network, kde multimedia, kde games) pidgin IM, Firefox, MPlayer and more.
The entire medium occupies only 183Mb for the 32-bit version and 188 for the 64-bit version. With 256Mb RAM are enough to run this distro with desktop KDE4 (This is what the author assures 😀), without a doubt an interesting and surprising project, which has achieved a KDE with those consumer qualities !.
It hurts the desk you use 🙁
Slax has always used KDE, although with the move to KDE 4 they were using another desktop but I don't remember which one. It is a very well achieved system, if I'm not mistaken it has a program installation method in the style of the BSD Ports or the Chakra bundles, I'm not sure because I tried it about 5 years ago.
The merit here is to deliver a KDE 4 with such low resource consumption, which has always been one of the main features of Slax, and at the same time dismantle the myth that this desktop needs large amounts of memory.
Only 256 ram ??? seeing is believing.
or rather, try to believe !!!
less than crunchbang ???? amazing guys
Today I download it to test it. I do not believe that in such a small space there is a complete KDE O_O
It is surely cropped. You know, without Nepomuk, Strigi and without any effects. Still, putting any modern desk on a diet is commendable.
And to think that in Debian I had to download about 500 mb to install only the Kde Plasma.
The INCREDIBLE truth.
That's because of the debian meta-packages ...
What a coincidence, right now I have finished configuring KDE in Slackware. Very good distro 🙂
Testing Slack from VirtualBox with 256MB of RAM .. O_O Effects and everything included ...
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu with this distro I started in GNU / Linux a few years ago now ... How good, I remember that I used to have problems with flash in those times and I don't know what else ... Highly recommended for curious
it is a classic, I revived a pentium 3 with 128 ram, it had win98 and with slax it ran very well in live mode! hahahaha what days of experiments those xD
I do not like much kde uff, gnome, xfce but kde ño I have tried and nothing, the slax 6 did not run, it tells me that it is not compatible with my processing, I deleted it hehe… Download this rc to see how….
I am trying to run slax 7 in virtualbox yusby there is no way it works it always keeps looking for data persistence. and in the end it only starts in text mode. without any telecable command
