Slackel is a Linux distribution based on Slackware and includes tools borrowed from Salix. It is fully compatible with Slackware but the difference is that it includes the current version of Slackware. So Slackware users can benefit from Slackel repositories. It is available in three editions, KDE, Openbox and MATE. Slackel disc images can be used in two different forms, Installation disc image and Live disc image. Slackel is developed in Greece by Dimitris Tzemos.
