While I have not played around with the pre-release Slax 6 images, I think that where Tomas is heading with them is excellent. SimpleSlax will most likely remain as it is, however, due to several factors.

The two main focuses of SimpleSlax are to empower older hardware and to serve essentially as a SLAX Popcorn edition 5.2.0, particularly as a good base image for remastering. Older hardware is served fine, in my experiences so far, with the well tested elements from an era of fewer resources. An example would be multi core processors - SLAX 6 is handling this area of emerging technology, new elements in the Linux kernel, etc. Getting an old PII with 96 MB RAM to provide basic end user functions does not explicitly require those elements.

As to the second part - from what Tomas has said, the new website will at some point allow individuals to fine tune their own SLAX 6 image with whatever custom modifications they would like, including making an updated version of a SimpleSlax-like image on the fly.

My hope for SimpleSlax is that it serves as a bridge for people interested in using the SLAX 5 technology now until such time as Tomas has refined and made stable the great SLAX 6 project, including elements like the website and the Linux Live scripts. Being tailored to ease of use on older machines, it may have some legacy niche even after SLAX 6 is complete.

Thank you for the question and chance to give Tomas my vote of thanks and support
