About Slax
Slax is a pocket-sized live operating system designed to boot quickly from a USB stick or disc image and leave the host machine untouched. Modern Slax builds on Debian, with a parallel line based on Slackware preserving its original heritage, and both stay deliberately tiny by shipping a minimal Fluxbox-based desktop with only a few essential applications. Its defining mechanism is modularity: software comes as self-contained bundles that can be activated or deactivated without traditional installation, and changes can persist on writable media so your portable system remembers you between machines. Because the Debian variant can draw on APT when networked, the small footprint does not impose a small ceiling. Slax is a favorite for rescue work, kiosk-style duties, demonstrations, and older computers. Loading Slax through OpenFactory is fitting, since a disposable browser VM matches its run-anywhere, change-nothing philosophy.
All Slax releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh Slax virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean Slax Latest Debian.
Questions about this target
Is this an official Slax image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official Slax media. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean Slax Latest Debian.
Can I get a customized Slax instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
