New version of Porteus available




Porteus 2.1 was released


"Major additions since our 2.0 release include restructuring our layout to have standalone ISO's for five desktop environments (KDE4, Razor-qt, Mate, Xfce and LXDE) and adding optional prepackaged modules for Google Chrome, Opera, LibreOffice, AbiWord, print/scan support and development software, all available through a new download interface that allows users to build and download customized ISO's. Additional modules (browsers, development, office, printing) and AMD/nVidia video drivers can also be found inside the 'modules' and 'drivers' folders shown in the download links if you don't want to use the build wizard...."

Porteus is a fast, portable and modular live CD/USB medium based on Slackware Linux. The distribution started as a community remix of Slax, another Slackware-based live CD, with KDE 3 as the default desktop for the i486 edition and a stripped-down KDE 4 as the desktop environment for the x86_64 flavour. The lightweight LXDE is available as an alternative desktop environment.
