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