14 DAY TRIAL // Slax, a modern, portable, small and fast Linux operating system with a modular approach and outstanding design, is now at version 7.0 RC3.
Slax 7.0 RC3 is based on the KDE 4.x branch and comes with a lot of applications from the KDE SC package, for network, multimedia and games.
The distribution boasts a modular approach that provided users the possibility to easily install applications. Even so, the vanilla version comes with a large collection of pre-installed software for daily use, including a well-organized graphical user interface and useful recovery tools for system administrators.
The modular capability of Slax can be used to integrate your favorite software. For example, if you don't find your favorite text editor, networking tool or game, simply download a module with the software and copy it to Slax
