Discover the ultimate in portable computing with the Slax Bootable USB Drive. This small yet powerful operating system is designed to run directly from the USB drive, allowing you to carry your personal computing environment with you and use it on almost any computer.

Slax is ideal for a wide range of users, from IT professionals needing a rescue system to students and travellers who want a consistent, personal workspace on public or shared computers. Its small footprint and speed make it perfect for older hardware or situations where installing an operating system isn’t possible. It’s also great for privacy, leaving no trace on the host computer unless you choose to save changes.
The primary feature of this Slax USB drive is its ability to run entirely from the USB drive without installation. This means you can boot your own environment on diverse hardware. Furthermore, its unique module system and persistence feature allow you to keep your changes and installed software across reboots, making it a truly personalized and persistent portable system.
Slax is built on the solid foundation of Debian GNU/Linux. This provides a robust and stable base system, benefiting from the vast software repositories and security updates maintained by the Debian project. You benefit from a reliable and well-tested operating system core.
Despite its minimal nature, Slax comes with essential tools included right out of the box. You will find a web browser for internet access, a file manager for navigating your files, and a terminal for powerful command-line operations, giving you the basics needed to get started immediately.
Managing additional software is straightforward thanks to the APT package manager, inherited from its Debian base. This allows you to easily install thousands of extra programs from the vast Debian repositories, tailoring the system to your specific needs whenever you have an internet connection.
The default graphical interface for Slax is the fast and lightweight Fluxbox desktop environment. Fluxbox is known for its efficiency and minimal resource usage, which contributes significantly to Slax’s speed, especially on less powerful machines.
