Hello, And I'm Diggin' Salix 14 XFCE

Post by RandyNose »

Hey, I'd like to thank you guys for Salix 14 XFCE. It's nice and lightweight. I have in installed on a P4 machine with only 256 megs of RAM. The machine had Xubuntu on it, but the HD crashed. I've been using Linux Mint, and Ubuntu distro's for the last 5 or so years. But they've gotten to heavy for older hardware, And/Or they have dumped CD sized install disks. So they're a bad choice for that older machine. But I Love them for their ease of use.

In any case, Salix is the really first disto that get me to learn a few more things about Linux that I've not taken the time to learn in the past. Such as installing something from source, and installing with something that takes more then just a few clicks here or there to get going.

Right now, I've got x11vnc setup so that Remote Desktop Viewer works for my other machines, but I can't get x11vnc to stay active once I log out. I've added to the Session and Startup Application Autostart /user/bin/x11vnc so it does become active once I boot up, but once I exit a remote session, it's not active any longer.

Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks
Thanks,

For what it's worth, (and a note to self) the one line that I needed in the Applications Autostart was this:

/usr/bin/x11vnc -repeat -forever

Keeps the x11vnc server going, once you disconnect, so you can re-connect.

Thanks for the tip, as it led me to this.
