Run latest Slackware 64 bit live and create your own live installable Slackware system with Refracta Snapshot! :: Build 260929

ABOUT SlackEX 15.0 Current (testing/development) 64 bit Build 260929
Slackware is the first widely-used Linux system, which is still developing. Slackware has existed since 1993. In comparison with for example Ubuntu and Linux Mint, many people believe that Slackware is “difficult”. Any novice can quickly learn to use Ubuntu they say. My remaster of Slackware Current (15.0), which I call SlackEX 15.0 Current 64 bit Linux Live System, is however just as easy to use as Ubuntu and/or Linux Mint. Some tend to complain that the Program Management in Slackware is awkward. That was perhaps earlier the case, but not anymore.

NEWS ABOUT SlackEX BUILD 260929 with the Xfce 4.20.5 DESKTOP (DE)
A new version of SlackEX is ready. It is based on Slackware 15.0 Stable/Current released 220202 with Xfce4 as DE. The most important package installed is Refracta Snapshot. With that you can build your own Slackware 15.0 distribution. Xfce4 is one of Slackware’s official Desktop environments. The other one is KDE. Kernel 7.2.8-amd64-exton is used in this SlackEX Build. To be able to use Refracta Snapshot you’ll have to use said kernel. Otherwise you can (of course) replace “my” kernel with Slackware’s original kernel – see about that below. Study the list of upgraded packages.
NOTE1: You’ll run SlackEX Build 260929 as the normal user user or as root. The password for root is root. The password for user is live.
NOTE2: You can run SlackEX Build 260929 on UEFI and non-UEFI computers. You can also run SlackEX live super fast from RAM.
NOTE3: You can use the Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed) to create your own installable Slackware 15.0 Live System once you have installed SlackEX to hard drive. I mean change everything to your liking and then create a whole new Slackware/SlackEX ISO file.

WHY Slackware?
Slackware is grossly underestimated (in my opinion). This article give you ten (10) reasons to choose Slackware: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/10-reasons-why-you-should-give-slackware-linux-a-chance/

LFS EXTON systemd – a live installable Linux system built from Linux From Scratch (which can run on ALL computers) with LXQt 2.4.0 and kernel 7.2.5-amd64-exton ::: Build 260925

LFS EXTON Linux live System is built using Linux From Scratch 13.1 (LFS) and Beyond Linux From Scratch 13.1 (BLFS).

ABOUT Refracta Snapshot in BUILD 260925
Refracta Snapshot can be started from the menu. The config file is /etc/refractasnapshot.conf. There you can change where you want your ISO after the remaster process is ready. You can for example change from /root/snapshot to /mnt/sda3/snapshot and /root/work to /mnt/sda3/work. That can be useful if you want to use Refracta Snapshot while running LFS EXTON live from a USB stick. Change everything to your liking. Then just fire up Refracta Snapshot and wait a few minutes. Your new ISO will be ready in /root/snapshots. The whole thing is so simple that a 10 year old child can do it!

ABOUT Refracta Installer
I finally made Refracta Installer to work in LFS EXTON! Now you can install LFS EXTON to hard drive like any other Linux distribution. Just start Refracta Installer from the menu and follow the instructions.

BUILD your OWN LFA system
You can also just use LFS EXTON Live System as build environment when building your own Linux System From Scratch.

RUN IT FAST!
The system is really fast and responsive. You can run also LFS EXTON live super fast from RAM. When the boot process is ready you can eject the DVD or USB stick.

SCREENSHOTS
1. Refracta Snapshot has successfully created a new ISO file: https://www.exton.se/lfs-260925/lfs-exton-refractasnapshot-ready-260925.jpg

13/09/2026

EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed KDE Plasma, 64 bit UEFI, Linux Live System with Calamares Installer and Refracta Snapshot :: Build 260912

ABOUT
EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed KDE is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is a rolling distribution. I.e. no need for new installations. Just run the command sudo zypper dup and you will always get the latest packages/kernels. The ISO file is of 3790 MB. The system will thus run very fast from a DVD or a USB stick. Even in VirtualBox/VMware directly from the ISO file.

ABOUT Tumbleweed
"With Tumbleweed you don’t have to take difficult decisions about things you value, either freedom or safety, either control or security, technology or stability — Tumbleweed lets you have your cake and eat it too".

ABOUT EXTON OpSuS KDE for PC’s – Build 260912
EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.7.5 Desktop Environment uses kernel 7.2.5-amd64-exton. Installed programs: Among many other programs, Firefox, NetworkManager, Calamares, GParted and a lot of special KDE packages. You’ll run the system as the normal user user or as root. The password for user is live. Root’s password is root. EXTON OpSuS can easily be installed to hard drive (of those who so desire). For that you shall use Calamares or Refracta Installer. All packages have been updated to the latest available version as of September 12, 2026.

BUILD your OWN openSUSE System
Use Refracta Snapshot to build your very own version of EXTON OpSuS/openSUSE. I.e. you can change everything to you liking and quickly create a new ISO file. The whole remaster process will take about 15 minutes.

RUN the System LIVE from RAM
If you have at least 6GB RAM (maybe just 4GB) you can choose boot alternative 2 – “Load to RAM”. (The best way to run any Linux system). Watch this screenshot: https://opsus.exton.se/kde-260912/exton-opsus-kde-bootscreen-live.jpg

$ExTiX 26.8 – a live remix of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS – with LXQt 2.3, Refracta Snapshot, Calamares Installer and kernel 7.1.7-a...$

ExTiX 26.8 – a live remix of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS – with LXQt 2.3, Refracta Snapshot, Calamares Installer and kernel 7.1.7-amd64-exton ::: Build 260811

ExTiX 26.8 LXQt – Build 260811
I have made a new version of ExTiX – The Ultimate Linux System. I call it ExTiX 26.8 LXQt Live System. (The previous LXQt version was 25.12 from 251201). ExTiX 26.8 is a remix of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon). Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will be supported until July 2031.

FEATURES
The best thing with ExTiX 26.8 is that while running the system live (from DVD/USB) or from hard drive you can use Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed) to create your own live installable Ubuntu system. So easy that a ten year child can do it! One other very good thing with this version of ExTiX is that it is quite light. The ISO file is of only 2800 MB, which means that you can run the system super fast from RAM. When the boot process is ready you can eject the DVD or USB stick. Use Boot alternative 2 or Advanced options… >> load to RAM.

PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Resolute64 LXQt compatible with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” :: Build 260804

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Resolute64 LXQt with the LXQt 2.3.0 Desktop Environment – Build 260804
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is built from Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon) packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. This PuppEX Build uses kernel 7.0.11. This is possibly one of the best PuppEX versions I’ve ever made. Everything just works! I could run the system very well on all of my six different computers. Among them on a really old computer Acer Aspire 5102WLMi from 2006.
Study all installed packages in this PuppEX Build: https://puppex.exton.se/resolute64-lxqt/puppex-resolute64-lxqt-installed-packages-260804.txt
NOTE: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS will be supported until April, 2031. Note also that you can use the Apt command ("apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage" etc.) and Synaptic for installing thousands of new Ubuntu packages in PuppEX Resolute64 LXQt.

REPLACEMENT
This PuppEX Build (260804) replaces Build 2607025, which used the ROX Desktop Environment. The LXQt Desktop is more useful than ROX. I think.

SCREENSHOTS
