Wolvix is a LiveDistro built from Slackware and the Linux-Live scripts. It's a desktop and multimedia oriented Linux distribution designed to suit the needs of regular to advanced desktop users. Wolvix comes with the Xfce desktop environment and the Fluxbox window manager and includes a carefully selected group of development, graphics, multimedia, network and office applications.


Wolvix Cub is a small Wolvix edition designed to fit and run on 256MB USB Flash Drives, it can be loaded into memory for faster performance on computers with as little as 384Mb of RAM. And if installed as a Frugal system to a hard drive it will only consume about 240Mb of storage space. Wolvix Cub is perfect as a base for building your own customized Wolvix system and combined with a special loop file (wolvixsave.xfs) to persist changes and a cheap 512Mb USB Flash Drive, Wolvix Cub becomes a truly portable and independent operating system which fits in your pocket.
