About 4MLinux
4MLinux is a mini Linux distribution organised around four uses: maintenance and rescue work, multimedia playback, running a small server, and the "Mystery" part, which covers games. It is a compact system that suits reviving an older computer or keeping a rescue disk at hand.
The project is actively maintained. Version 52.1 stable was released on 8 September 2026, downloads are hosted on SourceForge, and the forum is at LinuxQuestions.org.
