Richard, Unfortunately, the Slax distro is no longer maintained. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=slax
But, the good news is that Porteus GNU/Linux takes over where Slax left off. I have used the 32-bit version of Porteus. It's small, extremely fast, works quite well, is much easier to use than Slackware proper & I enjoy it. Like Slax, it is meant to be used live, not installed. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=porteus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porteus_(operating_system)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porteus_%28operating_system%29> Cheers, Elcaset On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 6:18 PM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]>wrote: > On Tue, 25 Oct 2011, Richard Owlett wrote: > > > On a language related forum I asked for recommendation of a small distro > > that would be attractive to users of that forum.
