Emnix is a Linux distribution built off the popular Slackware-based distribution Slax. It does not need to be installed on a computer system's hard drive, but it is an option. It boots and runs from either a Compact Disc or USB drive. There is also an option to run it from random access memory. The developer, Joshua Merriman, works alone on Emnix. Slax, the distribution Emnix is built off, is developed by Tomáš Matějíček in the Czech Republic using the Linux Live scripts. It was abandoned after one month's production and replaced with Project Esma. ==Features== Many people who use Slax find the .lzm module system to be extremely convenient, smart, and fast—instead of extracting archives and using executable files with terminals, all that is required is to copy the .lzm module into the module directory. Emnix is built directly off Slax, so all Slax-compatible .lzm modules are usable in Emnix. The Slax homepage offers a software repository for downloading community-created and maintained .lzm modules. Slax modules are rather simple for the average user to create, customize, and install. In addition to those built from Slackware packages, Slax .lzm modules can be created with the help of the Debian package tools (dpkg) module available on the Slax website module page, which enables one to convert Debian .deb packages into Slax modules using the deb2lzm command, the syntax being ''deb2lzm source_filename.deb ()''. Additionally, one can create modules from folders containing the full path of the folders and files intended to be installed using dir2lzm, the syntax being ''dir2lzm source_directory output_file.lzm''. An example of a folder made to place a file entitled 1.txt in a folder located at /root/Desktop/1/ would contain the following file and folders: /root/ /root/Desktop/ /root/Desktop/1/ /root/Desktop/1/1.txt Emnix stores all its modules in compressed read-only files (SquashFS file system images using the LZMA compression patches). The various modules are stacked together to build the complete Slax root file system. A supplemental writable layer (a TmpFS file system) is put on the top of the stack to implement the write functionality. On more recent computers, the possibility to boot directly Slax from a USB key represents an advantage over booting from a CD. USB key being a writable media, it is easier to modify the content of the installation. In addition, USB media is faster than CD media at boot up and during the operation of the software. The Slax USB install from the downloaded .tar file is quite efficient, comparatively to the burning of a CD with the Slax .iso file. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emnix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
