Get Slax
Are you looking for the perfect Slax version for you? Good news - there are several options available! Although they may look similar on the surface, each Slax version has unique internal differences. Here's a quick guide to help you choose the best one for you:
Step one, start by deciding which Linux distribution you want Slax to be based on. If you're not sure, consider using Debian. This is because Debian offers the "apt" command, making it easy to install new software, including dependencies. This is a great option for those just starting out.
Step two, select the processor architecture you prefer. The 32bit version is designed to run on very old computers, but it has a limitation that single application can address only 4GB of RAM. The 64bit version will run on most computers available nowadays, so in general, if your intention is to use Slax on machine made in this century, go for 64bit.
