At Phoronix, SLAX is one of our favorite mini LiveCD Linux distributions. SLAX has always been a wonderful KDE distribution with a very small footprint and is based upon Slackware. Today marks the continued growth of SLAX and the fifth release candidate for SLAX 6.0.0. SLAX 6.0.0 RC5 ships with the Linux 2.6.21.5 kernel, KDE 3.5.7, and other packages have been updated against
Slackware 12.0. A variety of fixes are also present in this release. Additional details can be found on the
SLAX FTP server.
