Salix OS 13.1.2 Fluxbox Review - Linux Distro Reviews

A review of the Fluxbox edition of the new Salix OS version 13.1.2.. A lightweight distribution that benefits from Slackware's speedy package management. Overall, a very tempting distribution combining a minimalist approach with nice artwork, traditional applications and the performance of Slackware and Fluxbox.

Thumbs up for conflicting redundancy - "Slackware is a very old package management system" @ 0:37 and "Slackware is by no means old or antiquated" @ 0:44 . Uhh, one day I'll get better at speaking.

Fluxbox is not based on openbox (it's older and imho still better).

The desktop clicking depends on your filemanager and not your windows manager.

Cool, BTW check out the Mint 10 KDE release candidate. I must say, as a Windows user I'm impressed.

@tostoday Wonderful, I've been waiting for sooooo long for that release. Thanx for telling me!

Slackware is an operating system, not a package management system :)
