Slax 7.0 RC3 Released, the Final Version to Arrive Shortly

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.
