Free software. 32-bit and 64-bit, BIOS and UEFI. Cooking ISOs of 10 November 2026, on the road to SliTaz 5.1.

Cooking ISOs of 10 November 2026, on the road to SliTaz 5.1. Each one is a live system: write it to a USB key or a CD, boot, and install it from there when you like it.
Not sure? Take core: 64-bit for any PC of the last fifteen years, 32-bit for older ones. All ISOs and how to install.
Why SliTaz?
SliTaz is a secure, high-performance operating system built on the Linux kernel and GNU software, designed to stay light without giving up what a desktop needs.
Light
A desktop in 80 MB, a server in 30 MB: every package is cut down to what it needs.
In RAM
The live system loads into memory and frees the USB key or the CD. Install it to disk when you like it.
Its own tools
The LXTaz desktop, the tazinst installer, the spk package manager, the settings: small tools written by us, made to be read.
Old PCs and new
32-bit ISOs for the machines others have left behind, 64-bit with UEFI for today's.
Room for AI
A light system leaves the memory to the models: llama.cpp is in the packages and runs on a plain CPU.
Yours
Free software, built from source on our own servers. You keep full control of your machine.
Made by SliTaz
SliTaz writes its own software when the rest gets too heavy. These projects are born here and each has its own home.
Soie
A web engine in plain C99: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and video in a download under 800 KB.
Toile
The SliTaz desktop browser, built on Soie.
Pelote
Your SliTaz machine in your pocket: update it, reboot it and watch it from an Android phone, encrypted end to end.
Maille
Our forum: light and fast, it works even in a text browser.
Filature
Where developers track bugs, publish dev news and follow every commit.
Tisse
Our Wayland compositor, in development.
