Tomáš Matějíček has released two updated builds of Slax, the project's minimalist, Slackware- and Debian-based live distributions: "I am thrilled to introduce the newest version of Slax, your only pocket operating system. This update is available for both of its bases: one that's built on Debian (version 12.1) and the other one on Slackware (version 15.0.2-current). One of the most notable enhancements of this release is the improved session handling, especially when running Slax from writable devices, like USB drives or hard disks. In the past, Slax didn't offer an easy method to manage multiple sessions. All modifications were simply stored in the /slax/changes directory, providing just one session in general. However, with this update, you can now maintain multiple sessions. Each session is neatly saved in its own subdirectory within /slax/changes/. At boot time, you are presented with options: you can either start a new session, resume a previous one, or select a session of your choice from a menu." The release announcement offers a full list of new features and enhancements.

Tomáš Matějíček has announced the availability of Slax 15.0.1 (based on Slackware's "Current" branch) and 11.6.0 (based on Debian 11.6.0). Both new releases of the project's minimalist live distribution bring updated software as well as improved persistence: "I am excited to announce the release of Slax's latest versions - Slax version 15.0.1, based on Slackware 'Current' and Slax version 11.6.0, based on Debian 11.6. Both versions are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit processor architectures. One of the biggest improvements in Slax 15.0.1 and 11.6.0 are updated packages. Another key feature of the new Slax versions is the use of the newest DynFileFS which implements how 'persistent changes' are stored on writable media. This means that when you run Slax from an USB device, all the changes you make to the system will be stored in a special file (actually, a set of four files) on the USB disk, making it possible to use Slax on the go. In the past, this feature was limited to a total size of 4GB, but with the newest DynFileFS, you can store up to 16GB of data." Read the full release announcement for further details. Here are the download links for Slax 15.0.1 (MD5, pkglist): slax-64bit-15.0.1.iso (244MB), slax-32bit-15.0.1.iso (237MB). Finally, the download links for Slax 11.6.0: (MD5, pkglist): slax-64bit-11.6.0.iso (278MB), slax-32bit-11.6.0.iso (273MB). |

Tomáš Matějíček has released a new version of Slax, a distribution that started back in 2003 as a minimalist live CD based on Slackware Linux, but evolved into a minimalist live CD based on Debian. The new version continues to use the Fluxbox window manager and is available for both 64-bit and 32-bit systems. The ConnMann application is now the preferred network connection manager. "More than two years since the previous update, I am happy to announce the immediate availability of final Slax version 11.2.0. This release features EFI support for USB booting and a complete update of all packages to the versions available in Debian 'Bullseye'. Furthermore, it provides full Aufs support, so you can continue working with additional modules as in previous Slax versions, add and/or remove modules on the fly. The core of Slax remains the same as always. Network connection can now managed using ConnMan. Most importantly, Chrome is no longer a part of Slax, but you can still install it with a single click or two, as well as the VLC video player." Read the release announcement and the changelog for more information. Download links (MD5, pkglist): slax-64bit-11.2.0.iso (280MB), slax-32bit-11.2.0.iso (276MB). |

Rate this project

Tomáš Matějíček has announced the availability of the first release candidate for a new major release of Slax, a minimalist desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's stable branch. This is the project's first build derived from Debian 11: "I made my first attempt to build Slax based on Debian 'Bullseye' (version 11.2). Some of the applications are no longer available, such as Leafpad or wicd, and I replaced PCManFM with Tux Commander. Feel free to suggest a small simple GUI app (GTK-based) for network configuration. This version does not include the Chromium browser due to its size, but if you click on the icon, it will install automatically before first use. Debian also no longer supports aufs, so it has been replaced by overlayfs in Slax. This is an internal change which affects the use of 'slax activate' command (it will no longer work). I am investigating possibilities to make it work again but as far as I can see, there is no way to modify the existing overlay filesystem on the fly as it was possible with aufs which means that it is no longer possible to add new modules on the fly while running Slax." See the release announcement for further details. Download link: slax-32bit-11.2.0-rc1.iso (279MB, pkglist). |

Tomáš Matějíček has announced the availability of a new release of Slax, a distribution formerly based on Slackware Linux, but recently re-designed and built on top of Debian's stable branch. The new version, Slax 9.6.0, is the latest build; it brings the usual round of security and bug-fix updates, including a fix to the PXE boot support: "Slax 9.0 released. I am happy to announce that a new version of Slax Linux is available for download. It features updates for all included packages, and fixes PXE boot support, so it is now possible to boot Slax over network again. There is also a 'pxe' script included, which you can execute on a running Slax to start a pxe server (it will auto-assign a random IP address from range 10.0.0.x). In order to download Slax, visit the newly redesigned website at www.slax.org. Enjoy the new release!" Here is the brief release announcement as published on the project's newly re-designed website. Download links for the 32-bit and 64-bit builds can be found on the home page (MD5, pkglist): slax-64bit-9.6.0.iso (263MB), slax-32bit-9.6.0.iso (269MB). Separate iPXE images are also available - these can be used to enable computers without built-in PXE support to boot from the network. |

Tomáš Matějíček has announced the release of Slax 9.5.0, the latest build of the project's minimalist and modular desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's "stable" branch: "Slax 9.5.0 released. I am happy to announce that a new version of Slax Linux has been released. Slax is a minimalistic, fully modular operating system. As usual, this version incorporates all upstream improvements from Debian stable, and fixes a few small known bugs. I am happy to announce that it is now possible to purchase Slax pre-installed on an USB flash drive with hardware-based AES encryption. This device is universally usable because encryption is performed directly on the drive and no trace of the PIN is left anywhere. Once disconnected, the USB drive automatically locks itself again. Payment is possible only with Bitcoin. You can download Slax from the project's home page. Enjoy!"

Slax is a live Linux distribution based on Debian. The Slax project has published a new version, Slax 9.4.0, which contains mostly package updates and bug fixes imported from Debian: "Slax 9.4 final released. After a short testing period with no problems reported, I feel it is now the right time to release a new version of Slax - a minimalistic, fully modular operating system. This version incorporates all upstream improvements from Debian 'stable', adds several default applications and fixes several known bugs. File manager now understands file types, so it is easier for users to open files like images, PDF documents, and so on. On top of all that, Slax now includes one-click-to-install launchers, to offer additional software to users while keeping Slax size small. If the current approach proves useful, Slax could contain lots of icons for additional programs, which will be simply installed (automatically) when launched for the first time." A list of changes between Slax's 9.3.0 release and 9.4.0 can be found in the distribution's changelog. Slax's ISOs and checksum can be found on the project's home page.

Slax is a Debian-based distribution designed to be run from a USB flash drive. The project has released a new version of the live desktop distribution carrying the version number 9.3.0. The new version's major change is the introduction of additional firmware for wireless networking devices. "Lets recap all the changes since previous stable version: First of all, I've added lots of firmware drivers to support various WIFI devices. It is around 40MB compressed, so Slax is a bit bigger now due to this, but I fully understand that a computer without network connection is completely useless, so this had to happen. I spent some time testing Slax to boot from many different file systems and I was able to identify some problems, which are now fixed. Most importantly this includes NTFS and ext4 support, so Slax is now capable of booting from them as well." Further details can be found in the project's release announcement for Slax 9.3.0. ISO images can be downloaded from the distribution's home page. Download: slax-64bit-9.3.0.iso (256MB, pkglist). |

Following a long absence, the Slax project has returned and the new version, Slax 9.2.1, features several significant changes. Slax no longer uses Slackware as its base, the project is now built using Debian packages. With this migration to Debian, Slax will also adopt the APT package management tools and the systemd init software. "After several years of inactivity Slax project has been brought to life again. For those who did not hear about it yet, Slax is a little distribution of GNU/Linux (in 200MB), which runs on your computer without installing, and makes no changes to it (unless you tell it to do so). This time, Slax uses Debian stretch as its base, and thus it can offer all the wonders of the mighty 'apt' command. If you are missing any software in Slax, use 'apt install SOFTWARENAME' to get it in an instant. I've decided to go for Debian because it made my life much easier and I believe that it will make yours too. Graphical desktop uses Fluxbox window manager and xLunch, which was written especially for Slax and with Slax needs in mind. Furthermore the development of xLunch continues independently." Further information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download links and MD5 checksums can be found on the project's home page. Download: slax-64bit-9.2.1.iso (208MB, pkglist). |

Tomáš Matějíček has announced the release of Slax 7.0.6, an updated version of the Slackware-based live CD with a minimalist KDE desktop: "I'd like to announce an update of Slax live Linux, version 7.0.6. The main changes are the new Linux kernel 3.8.2 and updated KDE 4.10.1. It was a bit harder than I expected, mostly due to some really odd changes made by KDE developers, which I had to work around to get the same functionality as we are used to. Raw changelog: fixed missing notification when module is activated or deactivated; upgraded all packages to reflect changes in Slackware 'Current'; Updated Firefox to 19.0.2; show date on taskbar under current time; the device notifier in KDE is now hidden since it was showing on mad positions. The Slax size has increased by about 3 MB due to new stuff provided by KDE." Read the full release announcement for more information. Download: slax-English-US-7.0.6-x86_64.iso (226MB, MD5).

Tomáš Matějíček has announced the release of Slax 7.0.3, an updated release of the project's Slackware-based live CD: "A new version of Slax is available for download. This release adds several new features and fixes a few bugs as well. Probably the most interesting feature is PXE boot support and improved X auto-detection. All modern computers nowadays support PXE, which allows booting an operating system over network interface independently of data storage devices (like hard disks). Slax fully supports PXE booting now. How to do that? One computer will act as a server, so just boot Slax on it from CD or USB and make sure to have the appropriate boot menu option 'Act as PXE server' checked. Slax on the server computer will provide DHCP, TFTP and HTTP services to enable PXE booting for other computers on the network."

The boot installer script has been fixed and updated. One of the most common problems nowadays is the strange behavior of some auto-mounting programs, such as udisks, which mounts FAT file system with the 'showexec' parameter. Due to that, only files with Windows extensions (BAT, COM, EXE) are treated as executable. To make it simpler, I wrote a bootinst.bat script so it executes in both Linux and Windows. This should make things easier. I've added ModemManager and related dependencies, including broadband provider info data, so it should be now easier to connect to the Internet using a modem. The KDE desktop was updated to 4.9.3." The release announcement. Download (MD5): slax-7.0-kde4-2012-11-14-i486.iso (183MB), slax-7.0-kde4-2012-11-14-x86_64.iso (189MB). |

The ISO format (labelled as 'SLAX for CD') is to be burnt to a CD, while the TAR format (labelled as 'SLAX for USB') is for all who need to run SLAX directly from USB media or from a disk. Simply unzip the tar archive directly to your device (to its root directory, it will create 'boot' and 'slax' subdirectories). That's almost all; you only need to make it bootable. For that purpose, navigate to the 'boot' directory and find bootinst.sh (if you are in Linux) or bootinst.bat (if you are in Windows). Run it. Linux users will need to use root account for that. The script will set up the device to be bootable. If you are using 'SLAX for USB', you will notice that all the changes you made are permanent."

Tomáš Matějíček has announced a new release candidate for SLAX 6.0, a Slackware-based live CD: "My ISP finally fixed the line so here is SLAX 6 release candidate 7. While you may think it's better than rc6, it may have more issues. I'm testing new block size in Squashfs, so I don't focus on the KDE settings, etc. (By the way, it's using KDE 3.5.8 and kernel 2.6.23.) Moreover I've fixed many bugs in Linux-Live scripts, but my fixes may introduce other problems. So here you have several ISO files with Slax 6 rc7. Please test the speed of the system with different block sizes and let me know in case you believe I should not use the preferred block size of 256 kB."

The fifth release candidate of SLAX 6.0.0, a Slackware-based mini live CD, is available for download and testing: "This is SLAX 6 release candidate 5, including a few modules and 27 languages. SLAX 6 rc5 still includes Linux Kernel 2.6.21.5 and KDE 3.5.7. The Slackware base has been upgraded to Slackware 12.0. Klaptopdaemon has been recompiled in order to show the tray icon properly. SLAX now shutdowns properly, while it did reboot instead of shutdown in rc4. Removal of modules by using SLAX Module Manager is fixed, it did allow a busy aufs branch to be removed in rc4, which may cause troubles..."

Language modules: simply download the directory for your language and copy it over SLAX, overwriting the original initrd.gz file.

Barely three days after version 5.1.5, the SLAX project has announced the availability of SLAX 5.1.6: "A new version of SLAX is available. The main added feature is NTFS write support. The default behaviour didn't change, SLAX still mounts NTFS volumes read-only. But you can mount it manually with read-write support by using the command 'ntfsmount'. It allows you to safely edit all existing files on NTFS partitions. You can also create or delete files, this will either succeed or it will be refused. Please note that refusal to do an operation does not mean the volume will be corrupted. Actually it means just the opposite: it's a guarantee that your data is safe."

Added 'noload' cheatcode to disable loading of any specified modules.

Barney Matthews from tuxs.org has tried the latest version of SLAX and these are his experiences: "The first thing that caught my eye about the DistroWatch announcement on the release of SLAX 4.1.4 was that it included KDE 3.3 which had only been out a few weeks. I wanted to try out KDE 3.3 and a live CD like SLAX is a great way to do it, so I went over to the SLAX website to download the ISO. Whilst I was at the website I noticed the SLAX slogan 'SLAX - your pocket OS'. This got me thinking, can you really survive with just a live CD (and a small one at that) as your only distro, in a 'MandrakeMove' type way? I decided to challenge myself to try for a week."
