Could you imagine a usable operating system that is only 29 mb with a Firefox browser built-in? Imagine a sleek window manager and desktop environment that only uses a small fraction of your RAM and CPU! An old computer running latest softwares? Your kidding me man!!!
But nope! I'm not kidding! What you can see in the picture above is the screenshot of a customized SliTaz GNU/Linux operating system. It does not contain under the hood some basic tools to keep you up and running and do some computing task but it also got more than 2000 easy to install packages with its SliTaz packages manager.
I've been playing around with linux distributions for some considerable time already but SliTaz really impressed me. It uses LXDE as its desktop environment - what makes RAM and CPU usage very minimal. It runs completely in RAM meaning you can run your computer even without a hardisk. By default, hard disk and partitions are not mounted which I believe is a very beautiful thing because the user is to decide whether you wish to have partitions mounted or not.
