s1it3: The Slide 10 Lite version.
iSlide: The "obsolete" Mac Slide.
Did you know that you can buy an "out of updates" Mac for less than U$100 and turn it into a Linux beast?
Right, pick up yours from wherever you like and follow those simple steps in order to have it working in a few hours.
01
Why Slide?
Created aiming a faster desktop, the design is both minimalist and astonishing. Doubled swap size to increase free memory available even on old or Ram limited computers.
It also provides a more secure environment for user data, since the OS is not writable (Live) is and physically separated from the personal files.
02
No Stock Applications
No release is -usually- above 1GB since it won't include additional software from stock: No Chromium, no Firefox and no Tor-browser. But yes, Nemo replaced the very limited File Manager included in the previous versions, Thunar. Cups Print Server (MacOS worldwide known) and HPLIP with latest HP printer drivers are also included. MPV replaced VLC and Mixxx for DJ Players or GIMP for editing images can be used as AppImages.
It's always included screenshooter, a very intuitive screen capture utility. Turn any .deb program to Slide fs compatible following a few simple steps.
03
Portable and small, yet fast.
Slide uses a high compression algorithm to achieve such surprising sizes: You will have a full desktop with many applications in about only 1GB of space. Slide performs mostly on memory, that makes any usable pendrive a candidate to host his power, and his performance seeming less and flawless compared to very expensive PCs.
04
Limitless
Once you get used to this approach you'll be able to appreciate the sides to this way of working: Portability, speed and small space and hardware usage are boosted by the increased security and specificity it provides by limiting the amounts of unnecesary data you allocate on your HDDs. The creation of modules is a simple process that will allow you to modify and configure the system to your will. You'll see.
