| KD4 Desktop |
Slax is a Live operating system based on Linux. Live means it runs from an external media without any need for permanent installation. Slax boots from USB mass storage devices such as Flash Drive keys as well as from regular hard drives and CD/DVD discs. Entire Slax operating system resides in a single directory /slax/ on your device, making it easier to organize with your other data.
Slax provides KDE4 desktop environment already preconfigured for the most common tasks. Included are applications and tools for data recovery, multimedia playback, instant messaging, web and more. Slax has zram support activated by default, which is a new technology for automatic RAM compression. Thanks to it, Slax runs on computers with as low as 48MB of RAM (in text mode). You can put Slax on wide range of different filesystems, including EXT (ext2,ext3,ext4), btrfs, and even FAT and NTFS.
When Slax is started from a read-only media such as CD/DVD, it keeps all system modifications in memory only, and all the modifications are lost when you reboot. On the other hand, if you run Slax from a writable device such as USB Flash Drive, it stores all changes there, so all your configurations and modifications are restored next time you boot, even if it is on a different computer.
Slax is available for 32bit and 64bit processor architectures.
