Issue #226: Spotlight on Small Distros – Choose the best small-footprint Linux for your environment

Hardware resources keep expanding, and mainstream OS systems also keep expanding, sucking up the newfound space with more and better bloatware. But many users would rather escape the arms race and keep it simple. This month, we review some of the top resource-conscious small distros.

Also in this month's issue:
* Nftables – this new tool for managing Linux firewalls is gradually replacing iptables.
* Timeshift – a user-friendly app for creating and managing system snapshots.
* MakerSpace – Learn to build a homegrown IoT humidity monitor
* LinuxVoice – This month includes tutrials on WordPress and 3D.

On the DVD: Manjaro Gnome 18.0.4 and MX Linux 18.3
