Customize your distro before you download with Slax

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the features I always enjoyed about Slax was its use of modules. Want 
| to add some apps to your Live CD? Just download the module, add it to the 
| folder in the Slax ISO, burn, and away you go!

An acquaintance with Arch Linux

| Simple does not mean ‘newbie friendly’, instead it means that the system is 
| structured in such a way that a user can easily configure it to his liking by 
| changing simple configuration files and installing just what he needs.

Review: SimplyMepis 8.0

,----[ Quote ]
| SimplyMepis is a Debian-based distro developed by Warren Woodford who 
| believed that Mandrake Linux was too hard for new users.  (Mandrake, now 
| Mandriva, was the Ubuntu of its time).  I’ve heard him interviewed a few 
| times on The Linux Link Tech Show and he seems to be of the realist (as 
| opposed to idealist) school of Linux distro maintainers.  He believes users 
| should be able to listen to MP3s, use Adobe Flash, and so on.  SimplyMepis 
| 8.0 is based on Debian 5 stable, which I recently reviewed.  So let’s load 
| her up into VirtualBox and see how it goes.
