Porteus (formerly Slax Remix) is a portable operating system based on Slackware. It does not require installation and can be run from fixed and removable media, such as a USB flash drive or compact disc. Porteus is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The Porteus project started out as "Slax Remix" at the beginning of 2010 and was started as a community project using the Zen kernel to improve and update the Slax OS. The community agreed on the new name of the project, Porteus, which was named after 'Portability' and 'Proteus'. Proteus is a "Greek god of the sea, capable of changing his form at will", according to the naming announcement on the Porteus forum. The project leader commented on the name, "I find this name as a kind of synonym of 'flexibility'. We have portable (small) and flexible (modular) features included in one name: Porteus." Porteus is based on a substantially modified and optimized version of the Linux Live Scripts. It can be run from a disc or USB stick (with changes saved onto the portable device) or installed on a hard drive.
