I am forced to download it so I will become less demanding...
So then could I stab you in case... :P
JOKES aside, I appreciate that you decided to listen at people needs.
(I agree that the road is too long for you but one day may be we would totally agree)
Did you put Firefox 10.0.11 ESR ?
(I am begining the downloading stuff)
Slax 32/64 and so on...
It may take for all download 30 minutes.
Expect that the server loading will be good...
[PS: I've seen your upgrade in distroWatch... :D LOL]
I know I'm late to the party here, but I just want to say: HOLY CRAP SLAX IS BACK!
AND IT HAS KDE 4! I've waited 3 long years for this- I hope it's good! :D
I'll post an update with my thoughts once I burn this to a mini-cd and run it
"I burn this to a mini-cd"
This bring tears of joy to Tomas. !.
He insisted on a "sexy slax" at approx 200mb iso . Most users insist it's no longer relevant as mini cd are seldom use anymore....
"For those who can't leave their computers even during Christmas "
Bad ... Bad... No Christmas presents from Santa....
Merry Christmas band a Happy New Year to all....
2013 should be more meaning full since the world didn;t end (yet)...
forum seems down, sorry to post it here then.
I guess i won't be buying it when there's no support, thread thinkpad x41 screen rotation problems, same author.
Hi Tomas, could you update the kernel source module to 3.6.11 release? The current download has 3.2.29. Thanks.
Never mind. I guess Tomas made many changes to the original kernel for Slax so it would be hard to make a custom module work under it. I am going to try another distro.
I'll update kernel sources soon. In the mean time you can find them on FTP here:

Ah..., at last, sir. Thanks. Actually I'm very interested with Slax. Slax has its advantages. It is a good Christmas present, for me. Thank you very much, Sir.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Korean Language not display...

Thank you for the notice about Korean. There is a font missing as I can see.
Please use the following command in konsole:
slax activate wqy-zenhei-font-ttf
Then restart X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and login as root (without password). Is KDE looking better now? Your feedback will help me make Slax better for Korean people. Thank you!
I assume that your message "Thank you" means "yes it works for me and the strange text which appears on the screen is a fully readable Taiwanese" :-)
Yes, Korean texts display..
Thank you.
but, korean text key not input.
I hop if fixing the next version.
Thank you for your passion. :)
Actually I do not know how to support korean text input (or any aisan text input such as japanese or chinese).
