-SnackLinux features a minimalist kernel with downloadable kernel modules, optimized for systems with ISA expansion slots rather than PCI. Designed specifically for 486DX and higher processors (including Cyrix and AMD variants), it combines modern software capabilities with extreme optimization for size and low memory requirements. The distribution includes 40+ [[http://snacklinux.geekness.eu/repo/pub/packageslist.txt|pre-built packages]] and a built-in [[https://github.com/snacsnoc/fbpkg|package manager]].+SnackLinux uses a minimalist kernel with downloadable kernel modules, optimized for systems with ISA expansion slots rather than PCI.
