Slitaz: A small, but efficient distribution

Slitaz is a distribution GNU / Linux that at least I carry it in a compulsory way pendrive to anywhere I go.

In solo 30Mb I have everything I need to navigate Internet, work with files and perform the most common tasks in my day to day. Even if installed on the computer, no more than 90Mb of disk space.

As you can read in Wikipedia:

From 16 Mb de RAM has the window manager jwm (in the cooking version it is LXDE). Starts with syslinux and provides more than 200 Linux / Unix commands, the lighttpd web server, SQLite, rescue tools, a customer IRC, Another SSH and a Dropbear server, X Window System, jwm, gFTP, Geany IDE, Mozilla Firefox, AlsaPlayer, GParted, a music file editor and others software packages.

Although Slitaz is intended for teams with 128 Mb of RAM, it works perfectly generously on computers with less memory capacity. In the version that I have right now on the PC from which I write this article, use Midori as a web browser, which I found extremely fast.

I have not yet ventured to install it because the Internet connection does not allow it, but it is undoubtedly an excellent alternative for that computer that you have in the abandoned storage room.

    An excellent distro ... How to put it on a computer with 64 Mb of RAM? I can't get it to boot from CD and it doesn't have bios with USB boot ...

      I don't know if it will have a working 64-bit version. He would have to investigate.

      Try to get an external CD drive, USB or get another that works. Otherwise ... it would be necessary to investigate if it is possible to install it from Floppy.

      Welcome to the site 😉

    I'm going to test it with a laptop with 3 x 128 = 384 megabytes of RAM
    it is an ACER Aspier 1300, with windows XP it goes like turtles
    I'll tell you about the results, having more than the minimum hardware requirements is encouraging
