I'm keen to look at Salix KDE.
Is there a reason why the download for Slackware is 4GB+ and that of Salix is around 700MB?
Had it not been for the size of the Slackware download, I'd try it but will go for Salix as I'm looking to move to less "derived" distro and Salix looks good.
Slackware & Salix
Re: Slackware & Slaix
Because Slackware does not offer a real package selection, but instead the dvd serves as a local repository where you need to choose what exactly you want to install.
For Salix our goal was it to provide a complete software collection for daily work with one application per task while still fitting into one cdrom. In any case you can add all software offered by Slackware through the package management after installation and you can download another big load of high-quality Salix packages that are fully compatible to a stock Slackware system.

I've now installed Salix which was quite fluid to do so.
Is Privoxy available for Salix? I did a search in the package management and it isn't listed.

It's available via slapt-src (or sourcery):salix555 wrote:I've now installed Salix which was quite fluid to do so.

Code: Select all
root[rich]# slapt-src --search privoxy
privoxy:3.0.19 - Privoxy (a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities)

Re: Slackware & Salix
To date I've used Synaptic with the KDE4 distros which automatically checks/installs any dependencies.
How's that achieved with Salix?
