Slax is based on Debian, one of the oldest and most respected Linux distributions. Debian is renowned for its stability, extensive software repositories, and strong commitment to free and open-source software. It was first announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock. Debian is developed collaboratively by a large community of volunteers worldwide. Slax itself was initially based on Slackware but transitioned to a Debian base in more recent versions. This provides Slax with a solid and reliable foundation, inheriting Debian's strengths while adding its own unique features like modularity and portability. Slax was first released in 2002, originally created by Tomas Matejicek.
Slax is an ideal Linux distribution for a variety of users. Its portability and persistent changes feature make it perfect for those who need a portable operating system they can carry on a USB drive, such as students, IT professionals, or anyone who frequently uses different computers. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for users with older or less powerful hardware, breathing new life into aging machines. Additionally, its modular architecture and customization options appeal to users who desire a tailored and streamlined computing experience. Whether you are a Linux novice looking for an easy-to-use distribution or an experienced user seeking a customizable and portable system, Slax has something to offer.
