14 DAY TRIAL // What is SliTaz? It is a new minimalistic Linux distribution, a 100% FREE operating system which doesn't need a hard drive to run. It runs completely in memory and can be booted from a CD-ROM or an USB flash drive. Did we say how small it is? Incredible or not, SliTaz Linux provides a lot of applications, nice desktop effects and even a ready-to-use web server in no more than 24.8 MB ISO image! Moreover, at this size, SliTaz is extremely fast and light! Let's take a look at SliTaz's features:
￭ Root filesystem taking about 80 Mb and ISO image less than 30 MB; ￭ Ready to use Web server powered by LightTPD with PHP and CGI support; ￭ Browse the Web with Mozilla Firefox or Retawq in text mode; ￭ Sound support provided by Alsa mixer, audio player and CD ripper/encoder; ￭ Chat, mail and FTP clients; ￭ SSH client and server powered by Dropbear; ￭ Database engine with SQLite; ￭ Generate a LiveUSB device; ￭ Tools to create, edit or burn CD or DVD images; ￭ Elegent desktop with JWM running on the top of Xvesa (X server); ￭ Home made graphical boxes to command line utilities; ￭ More than 440 packages easily installable from the mirror; ￭ Active and friendly community.
The Live CD starts with a boot prompt in French, with a little information about the default username and the password. From there, the CD will automatically boot in 3 seconds if you don't press the Enter key and in about 1-2 minutes you will be asked to choose your desired language, keyboard layout and screen resolution. Immediately after you have chosen the desired resolution, a nice login screen will appear. Login with username hacker and password root. You will enter in the lightweight JWM (Joe's Window Manager) window manager.
