NimbleX is a small but versatile operating system
that is able to boot from a small 8cm CD, USB, or
from the network. It doesn’t require installation
or even much hardware. It is based on Slackware
with the use of Linux live scripts, which provides
it with thousands of free software packages that
can be downloaded from the Internet. It has a GUI,
a lot of built in software for browsing the
Internet, writing documents, listening to music,
playing movies, and more. It also has basic server
functionality.

Changes:
The major highlights are the Experimental Safe Installer, better LZM compression, a split into 5 pieces, 9 desktop environments, and many other things. The Experimental Safe Installer is a very important addition that allows people with XP, and in the future with other distributions, to make a "one key hit" safe deployment to the HDD. Other significant additions are the GIMP, XINE, Firefox, XMMS, GParted, ClamAV, and support for RPM and deb packages.
