Flavors of SLAX

SLAX Logo

SLAX is a very cool KISS Linux Live CD distribution based on Slackware that comes in a couple of flavors (editions), such as:

Standard Edition

SLAX Standard Edition

The standard edition… There is not much to say. 2.6 Kernel, KDE 3.5, Wi-Fi connectivity.

Server Edition

SLAX Server Edition

My favorite flavor: DNS, DHCP, SAMBA, HTTP, FTP, MySQL, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and SSH - all pre-configured and ready to use.

KillBill Edition

SLAX KillBill Edition

Same as standard edition with some extras like Wine, dosbox and Qemu (for emulation of Windows applications).

Popcorn Edition

SLAX Popcorn Edition

The lightest edition with a GUI, designed to fit 128MB. It runs Fluxbox instead of KDE.

The cool thing about SLAX is that you can run it on a USB disk and spice it up with a bunch of additional modules and a little help from MySLAX Creator.

    SLAX looks great! Never tried it before but those print screen sure makes it look like a great KDE desktop to work with.

    I’ll be trying SLAX soon. ;)
