Extremely versatile distro with an ever-improving capablility in the charmingly-named ‘Cooking’ release, and more than adequate stability in 3.0 for inexperienced users, once the installation is configured for them.

The impact on speed means that Slitaz outperforms all other OS in the very important task of watching video on a rubbish broadband. <br>I get flash OK on firefox but not on the supplied Midori browser but you have to install manually and then create your "flavour"! . Best of both worlds- keep a personalised Slitaz CD in the drive and a more fully featured OS on the hard disk. Funny, I spend more time tinkering around on Slitaz!! Great fun with this.

You could do a LOT with a second screen - more screen space for a keyboard, customizable game controls, street view on one screen with map on the other for navigation. I wish this were out now!

With its small size I'd imagine you could leave space on a thumbdrive for a FAT or other partition to keep persistent data, but I haven't seen anything that would suggest SliTaz accounts for persistence out-of-the-box. Lili USB Creator might be of help here. http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-create-your-own-usb-linux-distro-with-lili/2009/09/29 Short answer: it doesn’t.
