With Wifi connected and terminal open I was at 290 MB of RAM. I installed Chromium browser launched it and was at 283 MB RAM. While watching a YouTube video it was at 491 MB of RAM. Awesome! The file manager is fast, the Wifi easy to configure - great but... The creators of the distro clearly do not respect privacy -witness the Chromium browser, that you have to give then an e-mail to get a download link. There is no documentation and if you want to join the forum you eventually need to give them a telephone number. You need a Facebook of Google account to view other ways of getting info. It is just sad. Some of us value privacy. So in the end a great, fast, light system with no documentation ran by a group that clearly wants to know it users.Makes you wonder of the are buddies with the antiX developers. : ( Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 11.3.0 Rating: 6 Date: 2022-07-12 Votes: 4 . removing The Chrome Browser was a Great Choice ( by default, no one Wants the Cloud by default.! ) . Loading by DEB packages, might seem like The Cloud ( and it is ) but "Your The One Telling It To Do So." I started with version 9.10.0 and Loved It. It was completely experimental and, truly I wish it were Still Available. . The biggest advantage of SLAX was that IT was Totally "a in memory only Operating System" meaning, should someone deside to send you something that you Never Requested that THAT would be erased when you Shut Down your System. . . A conversion package builder is about the only thing missing - Everything gets loaded to your slackware via .sb files but there is no-way to create Your Own Unique Software "my_program.sb" option available! - JW retired A.F.

The 'web browser' icon is nothing more than a link for downloading a web browser. And this is where the problems start. How can one download when there is no internet connection? WiFi does not work. It's not even recognised. Mobile Broadband is either not recognised or shown as a false ethernet connection. I tried with 2 different dongles. In other words, this 'portable' Slax distro works only from a static ethernet connection. Therefore it is NOT portable. How is it that a 300MiB 'distro' is little more than a shell with a pretty face? SliTaz can make a fully functional installable live system that weighs in at under 60MiB. So why is Slax so incapable? On top of this, the prices demanded to purchase this functionless distro are extortionate. Where's your head at Tomas? Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 8 reader reviews of Slax...
