SliTaz is 25 mb, requires i486/i686 for kernels 2.4.24.2/2.6.24.2, 256 mb of dram and broadband service for lengthy surfing or 128 mb of dram with 1 gb swap file on hdd. It is quite upto date in Linux world but needs front end fot JWM on panel size zooming. Small gxine panel with less pixels will speed up movie downloads.

It could be even smaller in footprint if network operating system is abandoned for mobile cellphone and dialup modem, using opera mini v4 with overview and zooming technology thru Opers website condensation. This is the bright future for SliTaz dialup.

Firefox is big and bigger yet to be, using up 35 mb just to launch it and 85 mb further to store webpages; on top of SliTaz image of 25 mb and 9/16 mb to execute programs, 46 mb of dram swap file. So, dram requirement will creep up if Flash is installed. SliTaz claims javascript but Google apps(ajax is javascript, dom and dhtml) are not well served, until dhtml is included.

So, the architecture of SliTaz will have to be reexamined, and forked it strictly for telephone browser to be ultra tiny(concept of Prex 0.4 plus opera mini v4). Then expand into broadband IPTV, triple play 160 mbps; if download can be stored in dvdrw or USB flash cards?
