Salix Forums

Well here I am.

For my netbook (AAO 150d) I was looking for something fast and preferably XFCE. I went from Kuki Linux, Crunchbang, Vectorlinux, WattOS, Pardus, UNR, OpenSuse, Zenwalk, UNR, to at this moment Salix Os.

Why I am trying Salix? Well Ubuntu based distro's are well known and UNR does a very good job I must admit. But I missed some connection with the operating system itself. And a good place to find a connection is with ..... Slackware based distro's. In a blog from distrowatch there was a review of Zenwalk, Salix and Goblinx (why not VL?) having all XFCE as DE. Salix got a lot of positive attention so here I am.

I am teacher biology in the Netherlands, riding a recumbent velomobile, and having a family....

Almost the same

I hope to have much fun with Salix, updating Gslapt right now, already added my archive partition to fstab thanks to a good link in this forum.

Only question: Salix is a willow isnt it? What's the relationship with bonzai?

You can get a bonsai version of many kinds of trees. Willows included.

then I guess Salix bonsai OS was too long.
