INTRODUCTION  In this presentation we are going to talk about one of the latest Operating Systems which is called “Slitaz OS” and how does it perform on an average Computer.  SliTaz, stands for Simple Light Incredible Temporary Autonomous Zone  SliTaz GNU/Linux is a community-based software project started in 2006 by Christophe Lincoln. It is a Linux distribution with a root file system that takes up approximately 100 MB of disk space, and its ISO image installation media is around 30 MB. This makes it suitable for use on older hardware, or as a backup Linux Live CD environment.
