PostX is a lightweight Linux distribution with a Fluxbox desktop based on Debian (7).

By default the distribution uses only free software. The distribution can also be burnt to a single cd or a usb stick due to its small size. The overall system is designed to be lightweight and as such it uses low amount of RAM and remains suitable for an older hardware.

PostX can be used directly from a media as a live distribution or installed to a hard drive.

The live-mode default username is: audax
and the password is: live

Even though the above values should get you started, I strongly urge everyone to take a brief look at the release notes, which are found from
