Greetings all,
Name's Phil
Quick bio:
Been using Linux for many years,
Getting fed up with Ubuntu (too much bloat)
Wasn't too impressed with Fedora.
Using Arch (Manjaro i3) at the moment - pretty good - loving the tinker factor.
Never tried Slackware so thought I would give it a spin, so installed Salix.
Whoa...is it fast !
Everything works as it should - cannot get over how fast software installs.
The whole distro gives you confidence.
Definitely a keeper, and may well finish up as my daily driver.
Just thought I'd stop by and say 'Hello'.
Nice day, all !!!
Phil

Nice day Phil. Welcome.

Hi Phil, and welcome!
Let me "warn you", Salix is not only fast, it's also ridiculously rock-solid stable. If you like daily "adventures" - you know, something doesn't work all of a sudden, after an update or whatever - you will be disappointed.

A pleasant detail in this forum: several people pick a picture of their pet as their avatar. Who am I to do otherwise?

Re: Hi to all
Hi guys,
Thanks all for your kind welcome.
So far I am enjoying Salix, it certainly feels 'rock'. I did miss my autologin, but a quick edit on lightdm.conf solved that.
BTW, I detect a certain theme for avatars. I don't have a dog or cat, so I fear my avatar is still to be decided at the moment !
Regards,
Phil
