Review on Slax by Mark Estrada

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good operating system with great potential

I like that slax has its own bootloader which allows me to install several different linux distros at once (like Fedora or Ubuntu). Also there are many repositories for packages compared eith other distributions such as Debian/Ubuntu where most of them have only one repository per distribution whereas some others offer multiple repositors. The installation process could be improved but overall this tool works well enough although sometimes when using live mode it gets buggy because my computer freezes every now an then while trying to do something specific (or even just by opening firefox).
