31 Dec 2008 - Cooking 20081231 - Wifi and NTFS support
The SliTaz project is proud to announce a new Cooking version of the LiveCD. It allows you to utilize and test the work done in recent months, it contains many new features, bug fixes and several updates. The distribution now includes a tiny control center, easily managed WiFi via Netbox and tazndis, a lighter version of ndiswrapper to use non-free Windows network card drivers. Perl is now on the cdrom (with Lua removed). WiFi support is also accompanied by support for NTFS partitions, so mplayer had to be dropped from the default packages that make up the heart of the LiveCD. The Tazpkg manager has been greatly improved, it allows the preservation of configuration files, software to be updated according to the construction (build) date on the server, log files to be kept when the packages are actioned, and several fixes have been applied. Also improved are the boot scripts, and the LiveCD tool (Tazlito) is now more coherent. The Cooking repository now contains more than 1100 packages thanks to the SliTaz developers. You can download (http://www.slitaz.org/en/get/#cooking) this new version from one of the official mirrors of the project.

I tried that release yesterday! Now that is a light distribution! Only 30 MB of RAM used at idle, impressive! SliTaz is very functional too, right out of the box.

I haven't tried changing the accounts created yet but who could complain when the OS will load on such old hardware and be so functional.There is even a remastering feature!

SliTaz is awesome for what it is designed for and is a brilliant piece of work.

Edit: I almost laughed when I saw the size of the iso. I was amazed when I saw what it could do!

I've used SliTaz rather extensively, and it's always impressed me. I currently rank it as my 3rd favorite distro.
