Minislack or Slax?

[nalg0rath]

I am a Slax person too...
Whenever I have a bag on me I carry two CD's that always lies in my bag. These are Knoppix and Slax. I try too keep them up do date. I do this because I've noticed that it can be usful to carry with you linux at all times.

I'm trying out slax for the first time now, and I gotta say I like it so far. Simple and fast.

The slax popcorn edition goes on one of those small sub-200 Mb cd's. Which means it fits into any pocket. Ultimate geekdom achieved

Minislack cannot be compared to Slax.

Minislack cannot be used to boot from CD, it must be installed.

Until There's a Minislack live-CD, Slax is the good choice to test Linux, or travel-work.

But if you're searching for performance, and a true installable Operating System, no doubt that Minislack is much, much faster and functional than any live-CD around.

No comparison for me : two projects -> different goals

I might make a live CD for mini Slack one day (if foot print is not too large). Will post a link in this thread when its done.

how would minslack go on a pentium-mmx-level cryrix processor@233mhz with 64mb of ram, 3gb hdd and a 2mb video card?

or would it be better with minislax?

It should run fine. I've seen weaker compo's using it without problems . Furthermore, both distro's are based on slax, so it will depend on your other preferences which you will pick .

youve seen it run on weaker computers? Like what? A 486 maybe?
