Salix LXDE edition 13.1beta1

[flux]

A great release!

Congratulation!

What about a dynamic menu at right-click on the desktop? I think it is already part of LXDE (menu-cache). I used it with Openbox --> http://mimasgpc.free.fr/openbox-menu-en.html

Thank you,

flux.

I have been testing the LXDE b1 and it seems to use 60 Mb of RAM and 15 Mb of SWAP when "idling" on my old machine Asus P4/128 Mb of RAM. I have installed it on a 20 Gb partition + 256 Mb SWAP - and the file system is ext3 (uses less resources). It does not feel much more responsive compared to the outstanding XFCE edition neither it uses much less RAM.
FYI, Vector linux 6.0 light (Based on 12.1) uses 45 Mb of RAM with 5 Mb of SWAP. Puppy 5.01 uses 30 Mb of RAM and 0 SWAP.

¡Saludos!

Estoy muy interesado en sistemas operativos para revivir viejos ordenadores. Asi que la aparición de Salix LXDE Editión es una gran noticia para mí. Desde que uso Salix no obtengo más que satisfacciones.
Pero quisiera sugerir para animar a algún desarrolador una Salix con jwm, es el que usa Puppy y al parecer es el mejor para los ordenadores más viejos.

¡Felicidades por este nuevo tanto de Salix!

Greetings!

I am very interested in operative systems to revive old computers. That the publication of Salix LXDE Editión is a big news for me. Since use Salix do not obtain more that satisfactions.
But wanted to suggest to encourage to some developer a Salix with jwm, is the one who uses Puppy and to the opinion is the best for the oldest computers.

Happinesses by this new so much of Salix!

Maybe xarchiver would be a better archive manager than file-roller.

Does Xarchiver (or any application) plug into PCManFM2 like it does with Thunar? Does PCManFM have something like Thunar's Custom Actions?
Secondly, doesn't File-Roller add a horrifying number of dependencies?

I've stopped using Xarchiver some time ago. The new versions sadly never have reached a stable and well usable state for me

Maybe xarchiver would be a better archive manager than file-roller. At least at my old computer (AMD Duron 700 Mhz, 192 MB RAM) the GUI of Xarchiver is faster and smoother than file-roller.

Xarchiver is really buggy and getting old. It doesn't even support xz compression and with 99% of the packages in the repos using that, it's no option at all.

What about a dynamic menu at right-click on the desktop? I think it is already part of LXDE (menu-cache). I used it with Openbox --> http://mimasgpc.free.fr/openbox-menu-en.html

I think the default desktop menu is better. The openbox menu on right click can be activated through the lxde preferences with a switch and I think it's better suited in a pure openbox environment, not as a part of a DE anyway.

Does Xarchiver (or any application) plug into PCManFM2 like it does with Thunar? Does PCManFM have something like Thunar's Custom Actions?

No, to both.

Secondly, doesn't File-Roller add a horrifying number of dependencies?

No. Not a single one.

I'm not sure about jwm, but maybe something geekier will be done in the future.

Sorry, I don't really understand the purpose. Why not just symlink a directory to the desktop if you want it there?
