Name of the distribution is written on the wallpaper too, so you won't have any doubts. So, you probably get a mixture of all those, where OpenBox plays the main role, some LXDE elements are added, and Busybox works as a configuration framework for all those.Īnyway, what do you get on the screen? The desktop wallpaper is an abstract image in orange and gold colours. Some elements are from OpenBox, some from LXDE, and the documentation talks about BusyBox. 54 Mb of memory! Bravo!ĭesktopI am not sure which desktop environment / Window managers SliTaz uses. Linux kernel version in SliTaz 4.0 is 2.6.37, which is rather old for a distribution released mid-2012. Even though documentation says I should get a login window, I have not seen it. It means that if you want to use one of the default boot options with a different language, you have to specify these options manually during the boot, rather than using the system menu.Įven though the distribution size was really small, the boot time was average.Īt the end of the boot process, I got directly into the graphical environment. After selecting the language, I was taken to a black screen with a boot: prompt on it. I was happy to see Russian in the same list as German, Spanish, a few options of French and English. There is also an option in the boot menu to select the system language and the keyboard layout. Let’s go!īooting upThe boot screen of SliTaz 4.0 offers several boot options, including "justX", normal booting, command line mode and so on. So, the disk is ready and inserted into the optical drive of my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pi 1505 laptop. The Buy Linux CDs site does not offer SliTaz in the list, but you can request one using the contact form, if you want. In my case, I burnt the ISO image onto a DVD-RW disk. It means that you can download and burn it to your disk in no time. The ISO image grew in size a little bit since last time, but remained absolutely tiny - only 35 Mb. So, SliTaz 4.0 was released in stable version on the 10th of April 2012. Second, and this is more important, a new version of SliTaz was released. First, I no longer use my Compaq laptop, and Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pi 1505 became my main guinea pig. It unexpectedly declined to work on my relatively old laptop Compaq C300 at that time, but worked on a newer Toshiba L500-19X. SliTaz is one of those small-size distributions.
