10+ free, fast-booting Linux distros that aren't Chrome OS

| A 200MB dynamo built on Slackware, Slax offers 
| one seriously awesome feature you won't find 
| with any of the other options mentioned here. 
| You can customize you ISO before you download. 
| It's as simple as choosing build Slax and then 
| browsing through the massive inventory of 
| packages available to plug in. Bonus points: 
| you can even drop Google Chrome into your 
| personal build.
| 
| Slax has long been a favorite of Linux users 
| looking for a feature-packed but lightweight 
| desktop OS, and it's been downloaded more than 
| 2 million times.

| I particularly like how Slax resolved the whole
| package management conundrum. For example, you can
| âtemporarilyâ install software with one click of a
| button. You just go here find your module and click
| âActivateâ. This will download an install the package,
| but only for the duration of the current session. Once
| you reboot the package will be gone. Of course you can
| download the package and permanently install it as
| well â itâs just that the temporary option is kinda
| neat.
