65 <p>
66 SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from
67 removeable media such as a cdrom or USB key. It is light, speedy and fully installable
68 on a hard drive. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a LiveCD that you can easily
69 burn to a cdrom and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD
70 and use your CD drive for other tasks. The Live system provides a full-featured,
71 working graphical distro and lets you keep your data and personal settings on
72 persistent media. The system can be extended with the Tazpkg package manager and
73 security updates are provided for the cooking and stable versions.
74 </p>

77 <a href="../mailing-list.html">Mailing list</a> (i18n list)

114 comprehensive array of software -- just enough to keep you busy, not quite
115 enough to get you into trouble. »</cite> Published by K.Mandla on his
116 <a href="http://kmandla.wordpress.com/">blog</a> and titled :
