I absolutely need Slax

In the last years, I didn't release any new version of Slax. Mostly due to lack of time, since my business and family occupies me a lot. However, there were several occasions when I regretted that. I realized that I need Slax myself at the first place.

That was the reason Slax started back in 2002, and it is again the reason why Slax should re-born in 2011. I need it. I need it so much. You know, there are situations one needs to start some Linux somewhere. Old Slax is no longer reasonable for any serious work, it's outdated, kernel doesn't support most new drivers. Hardware is so different now with all those SSD drives and TV tuners. One needs newest kernel. And one needs small Linux distro. I, at least, need it.

I have to build one. Again.
So be it.

Thanks Tomas, you will gain some people back hopefully. Let us know when you have something for us to test/help. Also hope that you and fanthom/jayflood with Porteus can collaborate and share ideas and code, after all Porteus is inspired by Slax :)

Good luck! Found Slax a few weeks ago, have tried other distos and always finding myself returning to it. Hope you are successful with a stable built. Cheers.

I also think that the 200mb limit is out of the question unless you use LXDE. KDE is huge. Love Slax and miss it too.

Many many thanks, Thomas! I really love Slax, it's better than any other distro I've ever used. A new version would be highly appreciated!

Thanks!Thanks!Thanks!
I can't wait for the new version. Slax is my only OS for the last few years as it allows me to use old computers that are being discarded. NOTE: I use it with the Trinity desktop, and some files from slax-remix.
