'''BasicLinux''', also known as '''BasLin''', '''BL3''', or '''BasLinux''', is a [[lightweight Linux distribution]] that is optimized for old ([[Intel 386|386]] - [[Intel 486|486]]) [[Personal computer|PCs]] and laptops and that uses the [[commandline]] or a simple [[graphical user interface|GUI]].
It is based on stripped down version of [[Slackware]] 3.5 and uses an obsolete, but small, v2.2.26 [[Linux kernel|kernel]] with [[busybox]] to provide a low-[[RAM]] [[Linux]],<ref>http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/</ref> capable of browsing the web, doing [[email]], and functioning as an [[X terminal]]. It uses the [[JWM]] window manager (Joe's Window Manager).
It's offered in 2 versions, a [[hard drive]] one that boots from [[DOS]] and a [[floppy drive]] one that uses 2 disks.
