Hello all. I'v been using debian for some months now and wana change to Slackware.
I have some Questions and i hope it is not rude for people here.
What are the differences between zenwalk and salix in terms of Philosophy ?
easy of use ? stability ?
The first Question maybe connected to the next:
What does it mean "fully backwards compatible with Slackware" ?
Does it mean that i can install Slackware and with salix cd upgrade and add stuf ?
After installing salix can i use the Slackware dvd ?
Thank you and have a nice day.
Salix and Zenwalk in terms of Philosophy
Re: Salix and Zenwalk in terms of Philosophy
Zenwalk maybe more oriented at "bleeding edge" distri with newer program version. Salix stays much closer to the stable Slackware packages. Which leads to your second question: Yes, you can use Salix packages on a Slackware system and vice versa. We only have replaced few packages that already exist in Slackware (e.g. lilo, because of our own artwork). Zenwalk rebuilds a lot of packages on it's own.
Just go ahead and test the distries in a VirtualBox and afterwards use what better fit's your needs
