91 <h3>Introduction</h3>
92 <p>
93 SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from
94 removeable media such as a cdrom or USB key. It is light, speedy and fully installable
95 on a hard drive. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a LiveCD that you can easily
96 burn to a cdrom and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD
97 and use your CD drive for other tasks. The Live system provides a fully-featured,
98 working graphical distro and lets you keep your data and personal settings on
99 persistent media. The system can be extended with the Tazpkg package manager and
100 security updates are provided for the cooking and stable versions.
