    Slitaz GNU/Linux is just brilliant

    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.
