Last preparation for Salix Live 13.0
Posted: 27. Mar 2010, 06:29
Yes it is really happening!
We are in the process of putting the last touches on Salix Live 13.0 prior to its final release sometimes within the next few days.
For those who may not have tested it yet an unpublicized RC3 version has been available for the last couple weeks here:

Since RC3:
=> Bug fixed:
* Xnest
* Lilosetup edit button
The last steps we are now working on concern mainly the final polishing stages:
=> Localization:
At Solution Linux last week in Paris, I was able to meet with some French Linux journalists & 'lobby' for future Salix OS reviews. As they will be evaluating Salix Live 13.0 in its final version, it is crucial that our French translations are not only completed but correct as well.
Of course, this doesn't apply to French only but to all languages as well. We not only want to offer a localized environment & localized tools, but correctly done so as well. So it would be wonderful if this week-end we could all check Salix utility tools, live tools, etc. & if necessary use Transifex to correct eventual grammatical errors, misspellings & typos.
The startup guide is a huge translation undertaking & it is quite probable that only a few languages will be ready for inclusion in Salix Live 13.0 final. If you are actively already working on it & want it to be included in this release, please holler now & tell Cyrille (JRD) so he waits for your translation.
We also decided to add all locales for Firefox in the final release, as a browser is definitely one of the main application used in a LiveCD.
=> Cosmetics:
The boot menu was slightly modified & the Salix Live logo/markings was moved so that it wouldn't interfere with the extra option menu lines.
The word 'Live' & a bit of color was added in the splashy background.
If you think of anything else that is important for this final release, please do not hesitate to bring it up now.
