I have compiled a very useful (as I think) 64 bit kernel for Slackware 12.0 – 14.1 and/or all Slackware derivatives. For example Slax, Zenwalk, SlackEX and Exton|Defender. The kernel is compiled exactly the same way as Slackware’s latest kernel huge. “My” kernel 3.13.1-x86_64-exton has even more support for new hardware, etc. Kernel 3.13.1 is the latest stable kernel available from Kernel.org. Released yesterday (20140129).
ExTiX 14, MeX Linux, LFA (Linux for ALL) and ExLight (among other “exton distributions”) can be installed to a USB stick with UNetbootin. I have now arranged it so that the aforementioned systems can run from RAM (superfast!). You just have to replace on file after the installation is ready. READ THIS:
1.MeX Linux is once again based on Linux Mint. (I.e. Linux Mint 16 - codenamed "Petra", released 20131130 and on Ubuntu 13.10 - codenamed "Saucy Salamander", released 20131017). 2.

EXTON OpSuS 13.1 32bit Mini uses the Fluxbox Desktop environment. Only a minimun of software is pre-installed. (Firefox, NetworkManager, Yast2 (openSUSE Control Center), LXTerminal, Leafpad and GPicview). I give you the pleasure to install any additional software that you need.
Who is it for?
This version is for people with older 32 bit computers with perhaps only 512 MB RAM.
Today (140117) I’ve made a 32 bit version of EXTON OpSuS 13.1 (OpenSUSE 13.1). This time with Gnome 3.10 and Gnome Classic as Desktop environments. Version 131124 of EXTON OpSuS 13.1 uses KDE 4.11.3.
