Slax

Slax is a LiveCD Linux distribution based on Slackware and is being developed by Tomáš Matějíček. Packages can be selected in a website where users can build a custom Slax ISO image. The tagline for Slax refers to itself as "your pocket operating system".

Features

One of the main benefits of the Slax distribution is its ease of customization. Additional software can be added and removed, using Slackware packages and Slax modules. A traditional package manager such as Debian's APT is not required to load additional software; Slax modules are completely self-contained. Users can also modify the default CD image or USB drive installation to customize the packages available in the distribution on boot. Slax also allows Slackware packages to be converted to Slax modules with the tgz2lzm command.

The Slax homepage offers a software repository for downloading user created modules and uploading new ones.

Slax modules are compressed read-only SquashFS file system images that are compressed with a LZMA compressor. The various modules are stacked together to build the complete Slax root directory. A supplemental writable layer (a tmpfs file system) is put on the top of the stack to implement the write functionality.

Close To The Edge

by: Solex

Up close to the edge
I wanna fall all the way down
Up close to the edge
Open my eyes
Walk straight ahead
I wanna fall
All the way down
I'm gonna run
When I hit the ground
Do you feel for me what I feel for you
Now you're turning on this electricity
Running through my veins, pulse begins to race
Come and satisy my curiosity
Keep imagining what it would be like
Got the power to make this reality
You're so close to me, almost taste your lips
Flying high, can't you feel it's intensity
Only one way to go when you're on the outside looking in
Tell me what I need know
Don't recognise my own reflection when I'm in this state of mind
Up close to the edge
Open my eyes
Walk straight ahead
I wanna fall
All the way down
I'm gonna run
When I hit the ground
You're taking me close to the edge
Open my eyes walk straight ahead
I wanna fall all the way down
I'm gonna run when I hit the ground
I'm close to the edge....
I wanna fall all the way down....
I'im close to the edge.....
I wanna fall all the way down....
Are you reading me like im reading you
Are we transmitting on a new frequency
Hear it loud and clear
Message understood
Chain reaction coz we've got a chemistry
Now I'm standing here with my world below
Body's shaking is this how it's meant to be?
But I'm not afraid coz I'm not alone
