I've never seen any mini Linux as cool as this. Everybody who haven't use it before should give it a try. 25MB distro with a cool desktop environment.

can't see what advantage this offers over a debian based distro and why does it it think it's a chineese takeaway?

"SliTaz's ISO image will always fit on less than 30 MB, to try and give you a reasonable selection of software"
It's pretty small (30mb), and VERY fast. I just wish it had better wireless support. hmmm... maybe there is a module for various wifi types??

well Slitaz apparently is for older computers, so its good for that side of the linux market.

I haven't found any minimum requirements for it on the download page.
Does a 586 with 32MB RAM sound useful to it?

The advantage is that is extremely small

SliTaz boots entirely into RAM, so it takes up nearly 128MB before X11.

Oh.
Well, nevermind.
It isn't a DSL replacement.
