Ultralight Linux - SliTaz

[lxskllr]

I just ran into a new to me distro, SliTaz. It's a tiny distro that takes 30mb to download, and 80mb to install. I've been playing with it for the last hour or so on my Eee900, and it's very fast and polished, especially considering it's size. Give it a shot. It's very nice for a keychain O/S, or reviving a doorstop computer

Thanks for the post. I may try throwing it on a USB stick a little later and giving it a shot. The screenshots look nice. I have a bunch of 256meg USB sticks and some 1GB thin clients....might be fun to play around with on those.

Those of you that like to carry distros around on a USB thumb drive might like YUMI:

YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer

It is a handy tool that makes it simple to create a menu-driven bootable USB stick holding multiple distros and tools. I loaded up a 4GB stick wit Ubuntu, SliTaz, Peppermint, Gparted, and several Antivirus and disk tools. It is my "fix-all" bootable toolkit

Thanks for reminding me. I'd seen that before, but forgot about it. I'd ike to make a general rescue stick as well as a multiboot SD card for my Eee. It /appears/ to work in WINE, but I don't know if the drive recognition works. I need to get a couple sticks together to try it out :^)

Wish they'd chosen a different name for it. I'm about to build a Linux image for work that literally just boots and starts an rdesktop session to a certain IP address. Minimal is good, but when they ask what distro I'm using I can't realistically tell them that it's (phonetically) Slit Ass.

Change it. Slē Taz works just as well ;^)
