About Salix
Salix is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Slackware that is simple, fast and easy to
use, with stability being a primary goal.
Salix is also fully backwards compatible with Slackware, so Slackware users can benefit
from Salix repositories, which they can use as an "extra" quality source of software for
their favorite distribution.
Like a bonsai, Salix is small, light & the product of infinite care.
Features one application per task on the installation
ISO fully backwards compatible with Slackware
optimized for desktop usage high quality package repositories with dependency
support incredibly fast package tools
simple & fully localized system administration tools
supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures Installation
The installation is text dialog based, but easy to navigate and complete.
It is also very fast; a "full" mode installation will take less than 5 minutes on any modern
PC.
Salix has three different modes of installation:
Full: Everything that is included in the iso is installed.
That includes a complete desktop environment and a complete selection of applications that
matches the respective environment, always following the "one application per task" rationale.
Basic: This installs only a basic desktop environment, with very few extra applications
installed on top, such as a web browser and the gslapt package manager.
Ideal for advanced users that would like to install a lightweight desktop environment
and add their own choice of applications.
Core: Only the minimum essentials for a console system to start are included.
A graphical environment is not provided.
This is ideal if you are an experienced user and want to customize your installation for
any specific purpose, such as a web server, file server etc.
All three installation modes come with a complete development environment, so users don't need
to add anything to start developing and compiling applications.
