SliTaz Raspberry Pi
Official SliTaz GNU/Linux Raspberry Pi distribution, a small operating system for a small computer! The goal is to provide a fast, minimal footprint and optimized distro for the Raspberry Pi. You can setup a fast and eco music server, development box, desktop, web server and much more with SliTaz Raspberry Pi. For a common list of applications please read the SliTaz ARM Codex.
Downloads
SliTaz Raspberry Pi actually provides a text mode base system and a light desktop flavor powered by JWM and the FOX toolkit. Download the tarball, extract, install and boot your Raspberry Pi!
Installation
boot/ : Must be copied to a FAT32 partition rootfs/ : Must be copied to an ext4 or btrfs partition
Be sure the SD card has got 3 partitions (boot, swap, root). The recommended partition sizes are 40Mb for /boot, 420Mb for swap and using all available free space for root. Then you simply have to run the install.sh script from the SliTaz Raspberry Pi release directory:
# ./install.sh
Remote control
SliTaz Raspberry Pi provides a CGI SHell remote control environment with custom rpi_config plugins support. You can reboot/halt the system, edit or upload files and set boot options. Creating new plugins is a nice way to learn CGI/SHell scripts and Linux commands. See: Codex: CGI/Web remote control for more information.
SliTaz Raspberry Pi can also be controlled via the cmdline and an encrypted SSH connection. Finally, you can also control SliTaz graphically with a VNC viewer: simply install and start the x11vnc server on your Raspberry Pi and connect from any computer or mobile device.
TazBerry
TazBerry is a Ncurses GUI to configure your SliTaz Raspberry Pi box. It provides a simple menu and lets you edit files with your favorite text editor. TazBerry can be started from the window manger menu or from the cmdline with: 'tazberry'
Raspberry Pi server
By default SliTaz Raspberry Pi provides some tiny and low footprint servers and some additional services can be installed via the Spk packages manager. Installed servers are ftpd, httpd, tftpd, ntpd, udhcpd and the Dropbear SSH server. MPD, the best audio server is also on the mirror.
To install the MPD music player daemon (config file is: /etc/mpd.conf):
# spk-add mpd
Sat-rpi builder
The Raspberry Pi has a lot of specifications. SliTaz ARM provides 'sat-rpi' to build custom SliTaz Rpi distro images ready to boot. A quickstart guide is in the SliTaz Raspberry Pi repository:
