| - | If you're expecting an easy Windows or Ubuntu replacement in a 30MB ISO, then you'll be sadly disappointed. SliTaz was designed to be lightweight, fast and small so it can run on older hardware. This means a lot of the larger packages have been stripped out to save space. It is possible to make SliTaz act and look like either Windows or Ubuntu, but don't expect every kind of functionality to work out of the box. Remember, even with Ubuntu and Windows you still have to install some other stuff before you can use them. If you wish to use a Linux distribution that works out of the box, give Linux Mint or PCLinuxOS a go. | + | If you're expecting an easy Windows or Ubuntu replacement in a 30MB ISO, then you'll be sadly disappointed.
