Nero Linux 3.1.1.0 has been released today

,----[ Quote ]
| For all of you Linux lovers, the new update of Nero Linux 3 is available 
| here, one day before Valentine's day . We fixed lots (really lots) of 
| problems/bugs/misbehaviour for this release, so this is also an explanation 
| why you have had to wait so long for the next demo version.

,----[ Quote ]
| This is an x86-based LiveCD install image, containing some new and emerging
| OpenSolaris technologies and should be considered a developer preview only.

A new, improved Nero Linux 3

,----[ Quote ]
| Compared with K3b and GnomeBaker, Nero Linux 3 has it all, from creating data 
| and music CD and DVDs to burning ISO images to writing on Blue-Ray and HD 
| DVD -- and Nero can run on 64-bit machines. Its price is reasonable if you 
| need to burn Blue-Ray and HD DVD disks and you don't wish to wait for K3b or 
| GnomeBaker to implement support for those formats.

NeroLinux 3 [Review]

,----[ Quote ]
| I find NeroLinux 3.0 a vast improvement over 2.0, but Nero will
| find themselves having the need to add more features in order to 
| grab a great deal of the Linux market-share. I've mentioned k3b 
| many times, which is because it's a very complete solution that
| happens to be completely free.

NeroLinux Review

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a beta version of NeroLinux, therefore it is still under
| development and it might need some improvements and corrections.
| However, it is one of the few applications of its kind that
| manages to do its job in a perfectly nice and easy manner.

SLAX on USB Drive

,----[ Quote ]
| To claim that the technology pushes ahead in such a speed that the article 
| will be rendered obsolete very soon is like preaching platitudes. I’d like to 
| end the article then with a few words of timeless meanings.  
| 
| Firstly, every program is aimed and is designed to run in a well defined 
| environment. Changing distribution media for GNU/Linux systems will not lead  
| to new functionality. It may create circumstances to run faster (or slower), 
| but SquashFS as a read-only system will remain as such, regardless of the 
| media. Changing` hardware is not enough. Just as the application coded for 
| uniprocessor machines will not run faster on computers with 100 cores. Even 
| so, it’s not the cores that matter.     
| 
| Secondly, the best answers to some problems are standard solutions. I asked 
| 17 friends of mine to check if their machines were able to start system from 
| USB. Needless to say, without BIOS update. All in all only 17 out of 25 
| computers passed the test.

SLAX 6.0: How does it work?

,----[ Quote ]
| The problem is that I do change distros very often and were it not for the 
| frequent manual changes of the config files, the never ending checking 
| whether the versions of the system’s parts are correct… Well, for a server, 
| which it suffices to configure only once and for all, it’s an excellently 
| tailored distro. Or if one would like to select reasonable software, have it 
| installed, then configure it carefully, and finally burned it as a LiveCD… 
| Yes… and have the logo of a green clover added just for luck… Wow, that’d be 
| something!

SLAX, the Shrunken Slackware

,----[ Quote ]
| All things considered, SLAX is without doubt, a distro to beat in terms of 
| speed, functionality, and stability. It is filled with handy applications 
| ideal for productive use. SLAX LiveCD can also be reliably utilized to rescue  
| a broken system and it can be fully customized if you want to create your own 
| CD or even a SLAX based distribution. Certainly, SLAX fits this tongue 
| twisting description: "SLAX is a shrunken Slackware."

How to create a GNU/Linux live USB stick with SLAX

,----[ Quote ]
| SLAX is a great operating system. And we haven’t even scratched the surface 
| of what it can do. You can create your own SLAX, build your own modules, and 
| even install SLAX to a hard drive. And best of all, you now have a GNU/Linux 
| system to show off to your friends.

Slax: The Do-It-Yourselfer's Linux  

,----[ Quote ]
| One can change Knoppix or Kubuntu, again with non-trivial effort, but why 
| bother? Why not consider a Linux distro, which starts out lean-and-mean and 
| can be easily changed and adapted to suit your specific needs and tastes? I'm 
| referring to a Linux distro that's downright friendly to Windows, making it 
| easy for Linux newbies to gradually learn about Linux without abandoning [the 
| ever-comfortable] Windows. I'm talking about Slax.

Slax 5.1.8.1 KillBill Edition -- first impressions

,----[ Quote ]
| I've already burned CDs of the plain Slax and the smaller Popcorn
| edition, meant to install on 128 MB flash media. I'll try these in
| the Dell, and hopefully soon in the Thin Puppy (the Maxspeed Maxterm
| thin client I'm using to write this post). If it works, will I have 
| to rename that machine Thin Slax? Yes, I will.
