DesktopLinux.com is running the article 'A newbie's introduction to Minislack.' Minislack is a distribution focused on desktop usage. So there are a limited number of programming tools and application software options. This could be a good desktop for the newbie due to the limited number of options.


Minislack is a stripped down version of Slackware. Minislack cut items that were not focused on the desktop. Mini in this case does not refer to micro. You will need to have some hard drive space.

The result of all this is that Minislack...

• is simple, compact, fast, secure, and reliable
  
• provides one application for each key task (except editors)
  
• is a complete desktop/development environment.

You can get MiniSlack from their website.
