SLAX Modules
If you don’t know about SLAX, read my few previous posts about it. It’s a great, fast, small operating system you can carry around with you.
SLAX has an interesting package manager approach. It’s quite simple. You download packages, called modules, then you double-click them to install them, and then do that again to uninstall them. It’s that easy. If you go to the SLAX website (http://slax.org) and click on Modules, you will only get ~ 20 modules. This isn’t the real picture, though. There are actually about 600+ modules available for SLAX, they are just not approved. To access them, you must go to the forum, and click on other people to get a list of their modules. An easy way I have found to find these modules is to go to Google, and type in “slax <package name>”, where <package name> can be Firefox, Opera, whatever. For example, to find SuperTux (a great Mario-like game), you would type “slax supertux”, to find it. It’s a great and simple approach, and as they rightfully describe it, “package management beyond your dreams”.
