Test Center review: Specialty Linuxes to the rescue (InfoWorld)

[Press] Posted Nov 12, 2008 15:24 UTC (Wed) by corbet

InfoWorld reviews several small Linux distributions. "SliTaz Linux is a unique Linux breed created from scratch by Christophe Lincoln. Heavy application of gzip and lzma compression, plus removal of everything but 'the minimum necessary to make it work' (in the estimation of SliTaz's creator) have reduced its boot image to a remarkable 30MB."
