SliTaz GNU/Linux is a community-based software project started in 2006 by Christophe Lincoln. It is a Linux distribution with a root filesystem that takes up approximately 100 MB of disk space, and its ISO image installation media is around 30 MB. This makes it suitable for use on older hardware, or as a backup Linux LiveCD environment. SliTaz, which stands for Simple Light Incredible Temporary Autonomous Zone, boots from either a CD or a USB key, into an Openbox desktop, and uses BusyBox for many of its core functions. It has a wide range of desktop and rescue software available and can be loaded entirely into RAM, or installed to a hard drive.
