Installed from an usb-drive to an encrypted root partition onto an old notebook.
Used only without network. Used only the stuff which I was needed during
the weekend: Libreoffice Calc, vim, and other programs which are not part of the distro.
No problem was discovered.
Although it was not a hard, systematic test, perhaps it's worth to mention the result.

Works great. Running on my original /home and /usr/local/ partitions.
Fluxbox with mate-panel.
That's what I like on Salix, very few hickups, at least in my desktop PC.

Just experienced another crash (total freeze, power off to reboot) opening a link in an email from pine. The browser was Midori, and when I opened it on reboot (following the same link) it reported that it had crashed.
EDIT
Just happened again. Maybe this is because midori needs to be called with dbus-launch (pine chose it for me before I had installed vimprobable, for which I have a wrapper that does so). This time, the crash was not immediate; it occurred when I clicked on a link to open a form.

32-bit
Mimosa, I tried to replicate your crashes and got none.
In Sylpheed I opened a link with Midori, no problem.
In Mindori copied a large text into medit and again no crashes.

Well, java is broken:

Unfortunately that means that an RC2 will have to be created and another round of testing needed.

Please create torrents for it if possible when it is ready
Thanks to all who helped testing this. I hope you are ready to install the RC2

Well, that was just the only issue I had encountered so far with the RC1.
Thanks for letting us know
Await the RC2.

Installed the 32 bit RC1.
Attempted to install the geany-plugins from sourcery (which worked flawlessly on Salix 14), errored out. The critical lines were :
Code: Select all
checking for catalogs to be installed... be ca da de es fr gl ja nl pt pt_BR ru tr zh_CN
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GEANY... no
configure: error: Package requirements (geany >= 1.23) were not met:
Requested 'geany >= 1.23' but version of Geany is 1.22
Sourcery shows the version of Geany and Geany-Plugins both as 1.23, but Gslapt and About Geany itself shows Geany as v1.22.

You need to install geany 1.23 from slackbuilds first. Probably when you installed geany-plugins before, the version there was still 1.22.
Code: Select all
root[mimosa]#slapt-src -i geany geany-plugins
[...]
root[mimosa]# slapt-get --se geany
geany-1.22-x86_64-1gv [inst=no]: geany (A text editor using the GTK2 toolkit)
geany-1.23-x86_64-1_SBo [inst=yes]: Geany (small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment)
geany-plugins-1.23-x86_64-1_SBo [inst=yes]: Geany Plugins (additional plugins for Geany)
