Slax Vodic za prezivljavanje (Live linux) USB flash-CD

Are you ready for an incompatibility?
Due to huge amount of requests, I've decided it's time to release Slax with PAE support. Just for the record, PAE makes it possible for a 32bit system to access all available RAM memory, including the address space above 4GB. If you had troubles with Slax seeing all your 4GB of RAM, that should be gone in Slax 6.2.

This change will make Slax unusable on very old computers (before pentium-pro?), so if you need to boot it on such old machines, please stick with 6.1 branch (currently version 6.1.1), which will work just fine.

This new 6.2 branch will be released separately, links will be published just here in this blog. When? It should be in a week. Official Slax remains to be 6.1, available at www.slax.org.

Slax 6.1.2 is here

It's finally here. What's new? Well, few bugs were fixed, KDE didn't change, FireFox 3.5.1 has been added (yes I know there is already 3.5.2, bad luck I didn't look just before the release).

That's not all. A new thing. But still very old, well known. Let me introduce ... WINDOWS SHARING ON THE DESKTOP! hehe :)

This Slax release adds an icon at the Slax desktop, which is labeled as 'Slax Drive'. After you click on it, you'll get a dialog for login and password. Don't be afraid, simply click the button at the bottom of the dialog to register your personal Slax drive. It's a network disk, you'll need Slax Account in order to register it. You'll get 30MB for free, just to test if this is something for you. If you like it, you may buy additional storage.

You may put there anything you like. I hope somebody will like it.

I'm not sure if this is even interesting for anybody ... we will see. Even if you don't like it, it's still a way how to support Slax financially - so if you have spare 3 dollars monthly, and I am sure you have, please consider buying the 1GB plan. Thanks! :)

The good news is (or is it a bad news?), you can Map your Slax Drive even in Windows. Just grab a tiny program SlaxDrive.exe (25KB) and map it as S:\ for example. Again, I hope somebody will find it useful. We will see :) In all cases, I would like to kindly ask you for comments, so I could see if you like the idea or not. Thank you!
