fluxflux-sl-en_US-2009.1 is a livesystem based on Slackware 12.2 with Openbox as windowmanager and gtk(2)-based applications to make the system fast and lightweight.
Customkernel from Quax: 2.6.28 with a lot of patches and newest modules for WLAN, LAN (compat-wireless from 25.06.2009) and other hardware.
Applications: Firefox 3.5.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.22, OpenOffice 3.1.0 and other actual applications (Pidgin, X-Chat
GimP, GQView, ViewNior, GTKam, GMPlayer, Xine, XMMS, Asunder, ePDF, XCalc, Rox-Filer, PCManFM, Xarchive, Sakura, Leafpad, Gnomebaker, Graveman and more).
The system is designed to be both, a livesystem for USB drives or a real linux installed to any storage medium (harddisk, external USB drive, SD(HC)). The rootpartition needs min. 3 GB, 4 GB are recommended.
The system has some configurationscripts for UMTS modems, bluetooth, WLAN, printers, SAMBA, VPN, ACPI and more.
Via slapt-get or gslapt (frontend for slapt-get) the system can be updated, new applications can be added, existing one removed. There are original Slackware-repos and a special 2009.1 repo which is growing in the future. Additional repos can be found via the net (slacky.eu, rlworkman, alien and others).
There is a special bootoption for eeePCs, to support the ACPI and the hotkeys of the eeePCs as far as known (overclocking, fan control, low-level-warning of the batterie, cpu-frequency). With fluxdesk you will have a kind of easy mode, an option for tablets and touchscreens.
Special boototpions for MSI Wind, Akoya Mini, LG X110, Samsung NC10 and Acer AAO are in preparation. I am waiting for some feedback and information of users ...
fluxflux-sl is in development and after the release 2009.1 you will find updates via slapt-get/gslapt, lzm for your liveversion and actual snapshots with all changes.
In the English section of our forum you will get support and answers to your questions or you can share your experience or give us new ideas. You may request also new applications, if we are able to compile these from sourcecode, we will do it.
Special thanks and credits to Tomas Matejicek (linux-live-scripts) and Patrick Volkerding and his crew (Slackware)!
Special thanks to Manfred Müller for the forum, the server, the kernel and a lot of things!
