AUSTRUMI (Austrum Latvijas Linukss) is a business card size (50MB) bootable live CD Linux distribution. It is based on Slackware Linux with initialisation scripts borrowed from the Blin project. It was created and is currently being maintained by a group of programmers from Latgale region of Latvia. The current official release of Austrumi Linux is 1.4.0. As all live CD Linux distributions, it requires limited system resources and can run on any Intel-compatible system with a CD-ROM installed. The entire operating system and all the applications run from RAM, making Austrumi a very fast system, and allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system starts.
