Perfect as a live USB distro. ~ Torin Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 5.0-rolling Rating: 9 Date: 2018-07-19 Votes: 2 Some 6 years ago or more I used Slitaz as a Live system to assist in voluntarily repairing old PC's to donate to the less fortunate. It was a great, fast tool for that then and is even better now. Until recently though, I was primarily an ArchLinux user. For many reasons associated with applications I required I had to swap two of my systems over to Windows. I really miss Linux but do not have fast enough machines for virtual machines, nor do I want to go through the hassle of dual booting and maintaining 4 systems. So I just recently loaded a USB stick with Slitaz 5-rolling and I now boot into that when I want my Linux hit. Slitaz fits the bill for me as it is as fast or faster booting it live from a USB2 stick as it is to boot up Windows 7. PROS: super fast boot, highly configurable OpenBox window manager, sensible easy menus, SlitAz Panel access to most required systems info and packages, great selection of lightweight packages. CONS: not a huge repository of packages, Live system does not get timezone correctly. Was this review helpful?

I haven't seen anything this organized, clear, and useful, in any other computer OS. Just a perfect start. SliTaz is fast, very fast, smooth, has all the needed apps, and very enjoyable. I have tried many distro's. I think this is the best disttro I have used in many years. I think both beginner and expert can be very productive on SliTaz This is a perfect OS for just getting work done without headaches and waste of time tweaking/fixing things.Just install it, try it, only load packages from the TazPanel install, and support them to keep this jewel going strong. This is what computing experience should be like. Nice job buys, I love it. PRO: Fast, Small,Organized, Many Apps CON: Logo is a Spider! really, it should be a slick superhero-like drawing of the Tasmanian devil that is better-looking than the cartoon tornado Taz, and maybe eating a fruit, like an apple. TWO IMMEDIATE FEATURE REQUEST FOR SLITAZ DEVELOPERS: 1/ Firewall monitoring/control, ideal would be map of the word showing all connections, animated/color-coded lines for connections/protocols/timestamp, jump to log. The SliTaz network tab/panel is a good place for this. 2. Search in start menu, just type and shows the matching app. This is the only thing I miss that isn't in SliTaz yet. Was this review helpful?
