83 <h2>Introduction to the project</h2>
84 <p>
85 SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from
86 removeable media such as a cdrom or USB key. It is light, speedy and fully installable
87 on a hard drive. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a LiveCD that you can easily
88 burn to a cdrom and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD
89 and use your CD drive for other tasks. The Live system provides a fully-featured,
90 working graphical distro and lets you keep your data and personal settings on
91 persistent media. The system can be extended with the Tazpkg package manager and
92 security updates are provided for the cooking and stable versions.
93 </p>
94 <p>
95 SliTaz project provides free technical support to users through the
96 <a href="../mailing-list.html">Mailing list</a> (i18n list)
97 and the <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/#idx2">English Forum</a>.
98 You can also contact us for more information, suggestions, or comments,
99 using the list or directly by mail : &lt;devel at slitaz.org&gt;
