38 SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from
|
al@1277
|
39 removable media such as a CD-ROM or USB key. It is light, speedy and fully installable
|
pankso@921
|
40 on a hard drive. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a LiveCD that you can easily
|
pankso@921
|
41 burn to a cdrom and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD
|
pankso@921
|
42 and use your CD drive for other tasks. The Live system provides a fully-featured,
|
pankso@921
|
43 working graphical distro and lets you keep your data and personal settings on
|
pankso@921
|
44 persistent media. The system can be extended with the Tazpkg package manager and
|
pankso@921
|
45 security updates are provided for the cooking and stable versions.

58 The default ISO image provides 4 flavors: base, just-x, gtk-only and the
|
pankso@1222
|
59 full desktop. SliTaz can also be booted from the web, customized to match
|
pankso@1222
|
60 any needs and installed on a wide range of devices from old computers, to
|
pankso@1222
|
61 powerful servers and small ARM devices such as the Raspberry Pi.

|
62 </p>
|
pankso@1222
|
63 <p>
|
paul@1223
|
64 SliTaz is easy to use for Linux beginners: we provide a fully featured
|
paul@1223
|
65 and modern desktop following the Freedesktop standards with home made
|
paul@1223
|
66 tools that lets users graphically configure the entire system. The full
|
paul@1223
|
67 system can even be controlled remotely with our web based configuration
|
pankso@1222
|
68 panel.
|
pankso@1222

|
pankso@1222
|
70
|
pankso@1222
|
71 <p>
|
paul@1223
|
72 We provide a base system and a stripped down X system from where you can
|
paul@1223
|
73 build your own customized distro. The custom system can then be used
|
al@1277
|
74 from a CD-ROM, USB stick, SD Card, installed to HD or booted from the web.
|
pankso@1222

75 </p>
|
pankso@1222

76 <p>

al@1277
|
77 Follow UNIX philosophy: i.e. everything is a text file. Our packages manager
|
pankso@1222
|
78 and all system settings are stored in simple text files for easy
|
paul@1223
|
79 customization and human readable configurations. SHell scripting is
|
paul@1223
|
80 used for most tools, again for easy customization and development.

81 </p>
|
pankso@1222

82 <p>
|
paul@1223

83 Radically simple way to boot using 4 scripts to configure the entire
|
pankso@1222
|
84 system, handle boot options, manage networking and run local commands.
|
paul@1223
|
85 SliTaz loads the minimal resources and lets users control everything else.

88 Be able to run completely in RAM memory from a LiveCD, a USB stick or
|
al@1277
|
89 frugal HD install. This mode allows you to save documents on a mounted
|
paul@1223

90 partition while the system stays super fast and responsive.
