Features

• Modular Design: Slax's modular architecture allows users to effortlessly add or remove software packages, creating a personalized and tailored operating system. You can build your own version of Slax by modifying the modules in the live system, or you can use pre-built modules. You can also remove any packages you don't need. These modules are compressed files that are used to build the file system when Slax boots. This feature streamlines the system and ensures it remains lightweight and efficient.
• Enhanced Package Management: Slax supports the slackpkg command with the slackpkg+ plugin, allowing users to easily install software from preconfigured repositories, including the official Slackware repository and the SlackOnly repo, which provides access to a wide range of precompiled packages.
