Slax is not dead! Slax developer and creator Tomas Matejicek announced today the general availability of Slax 11.2, the first release of this minimalist distribution in more than two years.

As you can imagine, Slax 11.2 is a major update of this portable distribution, which was once derived from Slackware Linux. Now, it’s based on Debian GNU/Linux and uses the lightweight Fluxbox window manager.

The new release is derived from the latest and greatest Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” operating system series and runs the long-term supported Linux 5.10 LTS kernel series. More specifically, Slax 11.2 is powered by Linux kernel 5.10.92.
