4MLinux 43.0: One Step Beyond Being the Answer to Everything
There’s a new 4MLinux in town and it’s ready to download now. Being version 43.0, it’s gone one step beyond being the answer to life, the universe, and everything else, as any good hitchhiker should know — but that’s something for a discussion later in day. For the time being, we’ll stick with the basics.
Although 4M Linux is often referenced as “a lightweight Linux distro,” that doesn’t tell the whole story. In truth, it’s a lightweight Linux distro with a mission. You can use it for your everyday Linux distro for searching, surfing, email, and writing if you want — but that’s not really what it’s made for. It’s mainly a lightweight utility distro, ready to serve you if you need to fire up a server (let’s say to publish your blog), to use for system recovery (for like when your “real” distro fails you), or for a multimedia center (to hook up to a screen and speakers), and for gaming (which needs no explanation).
