Now this is just slick:

There's a new version of Slax (the liveCD based on Slackware, of course): ftp://ftp.slax.org/slax-5.0.0.iso That's not what's so interesting, though...they have introduced Slax web. You save your settings online instead of on a floppy, usb stick, etc. You can "pull" your settings for any machine connected to the internet running Slax; I just think that's pretty nifty.

That sounds sweet, but i doubt i would ever use it lol.

[genesus]

[Minus]

That is pretty kewl . And you reminded me to update it on my website :P

[budman7]

Minus, that is a cool website you have there.

Flatline, do you know if u can store docs that were originally on ur computer on the net as a temp measure?

The reason i say this is, quite a lot of people ask me to fix their windows computers, often i just end up reinstalling then it runs faster aswell, so i boot a knoppix cd (atm) and copy any docs they need to a usb pen, could i copy them to the net if they not got a usb pen?

[Fallen Angel]

Cool. I'll have to get Slax.

sdousley There is a limit of 8MB per saved session. so unless your saving small text documents looks like youll have to keep that pen drive handy, although i have heard of a nifty program that turns a gmail account into a your own personal file server, it should be somewere on scource forge, maybe thats what your looking for?

[sdousley]

Well, i was thinking about that for if i go someone's house that dont have a pen drive, but then i just remembered that i have my iriver

and i KNOW that works in linux as i am yet to plug it into my computer running windows haha!

Wow, that online saving thing sounds pretty cool. It's good to know that Live-CD's are trying to allow some saving functions without touching the hard drive.
