How to install and use Slax Linux

Slax Linux (Nick-named as pocket operating system)

What is Slax Linux and how to use it ?

 Slax Linux is a small and light-weight operating system which is based on slackware. It can be booted from a Live-CD or a USB. Slax Linux has a small size of over 200MB. Unlike other linux operating systems which focus on hard disk installation, Slax works completely from a USB and needs no particular installation or dedicated partition. You don't have to create a new partition for installing Slax. You can boot it from a pendrive and the changes you made are stored in the pendrive for later use.


Puppy Linux

Puppy Linux:

 What is Puppy Linux 

Puppy Linux is a light-weight operating system with main focus on ease-of-use for the regular user. It has a small size of nearly 150-200 MB depending on the version and is small enough to be used from a 512 MB pendrive. It runs entirely from ram and so is faster than other Live-CD distros. Despite of being small it has all the basic softwares that we generally see in a normal linux distro. It has Gparted for partition management, seamonkey and opera for net browsing, pidgin for chatting, ROX-filer for file and window management and a very stable user interface. Installing it is lot easier and faster than most linux distros. See the steps below.
