Porteus ??? ?!? slax? silax? slacko-pup? porteus-wheezy?

[Anniekin]

started from puppy linux, noob always in search of faster performance, i thought to try this Porteus out. having been away from linux and pc's for a couple of years, using only android devices, i have resumed my endeavors with alphaOS, macpup, and lighthouse64 (strictly a collectors item for keepsake). Similar to alphaOS, Porteus seems to be the natural evolution of the puppy linux features i find appealing, only more widely developed and supported than alpha. so:

- as you claim, it booted incredibly fast, good for bragging rights
- polished, well organized tools for administration, including niche features like savefile creation and maintenance
- nice iso customization tool on your website

but - d*mn it runs slow as bricks!!! my lightweight xcfe desktop trudges along the same speed as windows. feels like it's running off a live cd

got me intrigued about slackware, however, something i know nothing about. what is slax? what is silax? slacko-pup? porteus-wheezy. i seek a system that runs as fast as possible, with only module or sfs app installation and management, and with no apps that i dont want preinstalled in the iso

just booted it up a second time and its running fast now, comparable to puppy, think i will try it out a little more and consider using this as my preferred system

Welcome on the forum anniekin.

Nice to read that you appreciate the os.

Thanks, i made the first(?) puppy derivative with compiler optimization a few years ago, the horribly amateurish spin-off "pup4pentiums".
