Download Slax Linux 9.5.0

Slax Linux is a Linux distribution that is run as a so-called live image, for example from CD/DVD or USB stick. Until version 9, Slax Linux used Slackware Linux, which is also where the name comes from, but with version 9 the developer switched to Debian. By default it offers an environment with FluxBox, Chromium, LeafPad and qalculate, which you can supplement with packages via apt or aufs. Version 9.5.0 has been released with the following abbreviated announcement:

Slax 9.5.0 released

I am happy to announce that a next 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 few small known bugs.

I am also happy to announce that it is now possible to purchase Slax preinstalled on an USB flash drive with hardware-based AES encryption. This device is universally usable because the encryption is performed directly by the drive itself, there is no software to install needed. Once disconnected, the USB drive automatically locks itself again. Payment is possible only with Bitcoin, because I truly wish to see PayPal and credit card companies to cease to exist soon.

You can download or purchase Slax from the project’s home page.
Enjoy! †
