PorteuX 1.6
Nate Drake delves into this Slack-based distro. Does it live up to its claims of being fast, small and portable?
T hough not to be confused with Porteus, this similarly-named OS does also make use of modified Linux live scripts. There’s no installer in the traditional sense. It’s a modular system, so you can just copy the ISO content to your media storage and run porteux-installer-for-linux. run to make the drive bootable.
Presumably, the main use case scenario is someone who doesn’t have their own device but wants to use others, in a library, say.
IN BRIEF
PorteuX is clearly very useful if you want to keep your OS on a USB stick and don’t mind tinkering with ISOs and save sessions. Otherwise, we suggest a mainstream distro.
