Salix OS

I recently became aware that Distrowatch has a feature that allows users to contribute a review of their Linux distro(s).

The page for Salix OS is below; it currently has 8 user reviews, with an average rating of 8.8 points:

The guidelines are simple; you do not have to create an account to submit a review, you are asked to state a few pros / cons as well as your overall impressions of the distro. The submissions are moderated by someone on the Distrowatch staff, so your review does not appear immediately. (I contributed something this morning but it hasn't been posted yet).

For anyone interested in writing something nice about Salix and spreading the word, here's your opportunity.

Thanks for the info., I had no idea you could do this. Just posted a review, of course 10 star rating.

I had no idea either. Nice to see those reviews.

I've just read this, thank you for the info.
Needless to say, I contributed my (obviously, very positive) review there as well. Salix is a great distro, and sadly it's not widely known. Users happy with Salix should contribute their bit to make it more popular.

gapan, has the team ever considered coming out with .iso's more frequently (twice per year for example) including the updates since the point release? This would help boost the submissions on distrowatch which could help increase the ranking, not that distrowatch rankings matter much, but they may help "sway" some users.

Not really. Isos are produced as "needed". That said, I've been meaning to make a 14.2.1 release that fixed a few issues with the 14.2 release, I just haven't found the time to do it yet (and I'm still uncertain about the NetworkManager disconnecting problem).
