    Swift Linux description

    An antiX-based distribution providing a combination of lightweight operation, a superior repository, and user-friendliness.

    Swift Linux distribution provides the unique combination of lightweight operation, a superior repository, and user-friendliness.

    Requirements

    - Processor: Pentium 2 or newer
    - RAM: at least 128 MB (256 MB recommended)

    Here are some key features of "Swift Linux":

    · SWIFT: Swift Linux requires just 128 MB of RAM (256 MB recommended), which is ridiculously low even by Linux standards. If your computer is fast enough for Windows 98 or Puppy Linux, it's fast enough for Swift Linux.
    · SOFTWARE SELECTION: Swift Linux is compatible with the Debian software repository, which contains over 20,000 FREE software packages. The Puppy Linux repository cannot compete with this.
    · USER-FRIENDLY: Swift Linux includes a GUI environment and clickable icons on the screen. Even Jessica "Chicken of the Sea" Simpson could get up to speed with Swift Linux.
    · ALL OF THE ABOVE: Only Swift Linux offers the unique combination of speed, software selection, and user-friendliness. Other Linux distros can compete with Swift Linux on one or two of the above criteria, but they all fall far short on at least one.
    · STABLE EVEN BY LINUX STANDARDS: Swift Linux has roots in Debian's Stable and Testing branches. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are based on Debian's Unstable branch.
    · ECONOMICAL: Swift Linux is even more economical than most other Linux distros. Because of its extremely low hardware requirements, Swift Linux runs on old computers that are too slow for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and many other distros. Swift Linux allows you to use an older and cheaper computer or to keep a new computer longer. This is one of the few Linux distros that work well on a 10-year-old computer.
    · BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: Swift Linux allows you to keep your old computer running longer than most other distros. This means less electronic waste, which all too often ends up in the landfills of Third World countries with inferior, unenforced, or nonexistent environmental laws. Fewer purchases of new computers means less consumption of natural resources and less pollution generated in the manufacturing process.
