Slax 9.5.0 released

I am happy to announce that a next version of Slax Linux has been released. Slax is a minimalistic, fully modular operating system. As usual, this version incorporates all upstream improvements from Debian stable, and fixes few small known bugs.

I am also happy to announce that it is now possible to purchase Slax preinstalled on an USB flash drive with hardware-based AES encryption. This device is universally usable because the encryption is performed directly by the drive itself, there is no software to install needed. Once disconnected, the USB drive automatically locks itself again. Payment is possible only with Bitcoin, because I truly wish to see PayPal and credit card companies to cease to exist soon.

You can download or purchase Slax from the project's home page.

Enjoy! :)

Why doesn't Slax support UEFI boot mode? It only works on legacy BIOS devices. Do I need to do something additionally in order to be able to boot on UEFI devices?
