GoblinX is a Slackware-based Linux distribution which comes in live CD format, and is developed and maintained in Brazil by Flavio de Oliveira, aka Grobsch.

The Micro Edition is GoblinX's smallest version - the ISO only measures around 100MB – and it comes with only Fluxbox and several GTK/GTK2-based applications.

It was the inclusion of Fluxbox which drew me to the Micro Edition, as I was looking for a lightweight distribution to install on my old Dell 8000 Inspiron.

The Inspiron is a trusty old workhorse with a Pentium III, 900Mhz processor, Nvidia GeForce 2Go graphics, 10GB HDD and 512MB RAM.

What makes the Inspiron particularly useful as a test machine is its 1400x1050 screen resolution, which regularly causes problems for Linux distributions.

The distro that detects it and configures it correctly is one that is worth recommending.

I had some previous experience of GoblinX and remembered it as an extremely stylish distro; the Micro edition continues the trend.
