No. I think that some might be interested in a page with description since it is more appealing for most and more persuasive to be shared, and also I think that some might like to listen to the Speex audio jut as I do

I listen to podcasts on an mp3 player. But whatever your preference, its the content of the interview that listeners should take from it.

@Tim CowChip,
Thanks for posting the link to that interview; I listened to it and not only enjoyed it, but learned some tidbits about Salix that I didn't know.

- The base team of developers knew each other from other projects and had worked together on Zenwalk.
- There was some background given on how the bonsai was chosen as the distro's logo.
- The project's original codename was "Alcoholics," which was coined by thenktor (Thorsten).
- The graphical installer used on the Live CD is the work of Akuna (Pierrick).
- Sourcery, the graphical frontend for slapt-src, is written in Python and is gapan's work.
- gapan (George) provided a clear explanation of package management in Salix and the differences between Gslapt, slapt-get and slapt-src.
- The Xfce version is the "grandfather" of Salix OS, as almost all of the devs were using Xfce when version 13.0 was released.
- Both shador (Andreas) and gapan emphasized that every contributor is welcome, regardless of his/her country of origin. Even if you can't code, you can contribute in other ways, such as providing support in the User Forum, writing documentation, translating and/or packaging. (gapan said that it's easy to create packages for Salix/Slackware because they are very basic tarballs).
