Salix Forums

A little bit dusty, but due to it seems to be Slackware (v8) based, does somebody know it and report some (subjective) experiences?

Is there a way to have those (multimedia) features also in Salix? Would be great.

I know that Vectorlinux has some multimedia cd available. http://www.vectorlinuxsolutions.com/ But that is also a little old though. The idea is nice.

What are we missing?

Humm, Salix is more general purpose than those "multimedia" distros. Sometimes I have the opinion that each application (here mplayer + addons) will become its own pushing distribution or at least an own fork
Next problem are updates, I doubt there are some current updates available for MoviX, MoviX² or eMoviX. I do not even understand what are the differences between those three.

You offers to have a second Salix who would be in the style of Ubuntu Studio?
100 % multimedia and filled with software intended only for this usage.

I don't see the point why to create a special version of a distribution for every single purpose? You can always get the needed software with slapt-get.

I agree, each can adapt the base to his personal desires.
