Re: What is SliTaz?

You should give the documentation a check to see if that answers some of your questions: http://doc.slitaz.org/

I can tell you real quick the following facts:

Slitaz is an operating system based on the linux kernel, (http://www.kernel.org) which allows it to do what it does as an operating system and handle the system resources such as RAM, hard disks, sound cards, etc.

Slitaz uses the X window system (http://www.x.org) to display windows and other graphics rather than having a basic text, keyboard-input interface (Linux uses the 'bash' command line interface. To access the bare linux bash login prompt, you can press ctrl-alt-F1 and to return to graphic mode press ctrl-alt-F7).

It uses the gnome (http://www.gnome.org/) and openbox (http://openbox.org/) desktop environments to display graphics using the X Window system mentioned above.

Strange @Luxi? I dont think so ....

Lets talk about Windows .... A clean install of windows 7 is, if im correct, 25 Giga Bytes, but on these 25GB what we use?

A browser, Messenger and its all .... so .... 1 browser and one IRC Client 25 GB ????

If we want to devellop something we need to download (or buy) ... so ... more Giga Bytes.

SliTaz vue is different ... we have what we need. Is so simple as that. Why you have (Example) Firefox 12.0 if you only need Firefox 10.0 ?

Offcourse, at SliTaz we dont have the beautiful graphics, etc ... but hey ! We can do it ! And like we want ! Not like the big corporations want ...

This is offcourse, only my point of vue.

Cheers !
