About rolling versions: the difference between them

Hello everybody!

Rolling versions of Slitaz are available here:

http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/slitaz/iso/rolling/

What are differences between:

- rolling.iso;

- rolling-10in1.iso;

- rolling-preinit.iso;

- rolling-core.iso; and

- rolling-core64.iso ?

I hope this topic would help people that are new to Slitaz/Linux and doesn't know what version to download.

Slitaz 5.0 RC2 still work, of course, but it's getting more and more old as the new rolling versions come up.

Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day!

rolling-core.iso    => full desktop with 32 bit kernel
rolling-core64.iso  => full desktop with 64 bit kernel
rolling.iso         => full desktop with 32 bit kernel, with gtkonly, justx and base alternatives (4x),
                       also known as rolling-4in1.iso,  current prefered ISO to download
                       The default boot selects the best flavor according the RAM size
rolling-10in1.iso   => full desktop with 32 bit kernel and 64 bit kernel (2x),
                       with gtkonly, justx and base alternatives, + a tiny debug mode (5x)
                       The default boot selects the best flavor according the RAM size
                       The kernel is selected according the processor
rolling-preinit.iso => used to boot special configurations such as raid, lvm ...
