NimbleX is a small Slackware-based Linux distribution optimized to run from a CD, USB drive or a network environment. NimbleX has been praised for how fast it boots, as well as for its small disk footprint, which is considered surprising for a distribution using KDE as desktop environment.[1][2] NimbleX was also remarked for its website that allows users to generate custom bootable images by using a web browser.[3][4] It was also covered in mainstream Romanian press as the first Linux distribution put together by a Romanian.[5][6]
