Wow, impressive work! A big "Thank you" to gapan and the other team members (djemos, mimosa ... I apologize if I've overlooked anyone), as well as to the volunteers who tested the release candidates. Last night I installed 14.2 on our Dell Latitude E4300 laptop (old but a workhorse). Every...

Bonsoir, Themis, Welcome to Salix OS and its User Forum. :) I hope you'll find it to your liking; there are several different DEs (desktop environments) and/or window managers you can try out: Xfce, MATE, Fluxbox, etc. I've been using Salix for a while, and it has always worked reliably for me -- no...

I'm late to the party, too, :oops: but Happy New Year to everyone here in the forum. Yes, Salix rocks -- and more importantly, for me it Just Works / keeps chugging along. I'm enjoying the Fluxbox edition and appreciate some of the out-of-the-box configuration which gapan added to reduce the learnin...

Hi, Sasquatch, You're welcome. Please post back if you run into problems, and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi, ChuangTzu, Thanks for the heads-up about this poll; I didn't know about it. I've cast my vote (just once, so I can't be accused of stuffing the ballot box). I voted for someone who, in certain circumstances, has been referred to by certain other individuals, in certain other distros' communities...

Hi, bobo,

Thanks for posting the link to that article. It was very interesting, with easy-to-follow advice (even for non-cryptographers); it also had some informative comments.

There is a conflict with spacefm. If in autostart.sh use spacefm to set the background then nitrogen does not apply the background. If you comment the line of spacefm setting the background and uncomment the line using nitrogen to set the wallpaper background then nitrogen works. In this case space...

Hi, djemos, I had some free time over the weekend to experiment with the test release, and here is my partial report. I hope it will be of some help to you ... System specs : Are in my signature file below Release : Openbox 14.1 beta1 (32-bit) Installation : FULL install, on bare metal; root (/) par...

Hi, portaro,

Thank you for creating these wallpapers. They're very nice; I like variants #5 and 6. I also like that they feature the new Salix leaf logo as part of their design.

Parab'ens e muito obrigado.
