A Slackware-based Linux distribution.
Salix is a Linux distribution that is based on Slackware, famous for its simplicity, speed, and ease of use. It is a fully backward-compatible system with Slackware, providing Slackware users with the benefit of Salix repositories. These repositories act as an extra source of software, adding a touch of quality to the favorite distribution.
Salix is a small and lightweight operating system, which is the product of infinite care, just like a bonsai tree. The system offers three different modes of installation: full, basic, and core. Full mode is the most comprehensive with everything included in the Iso installed, while basic mode includes only the Xfce desktop environment, Firefox web browser, and gslapt package manager. Core mode ensures that only the minimum essentials for a console system to start are installed.
The installation process is text dialogue-based, which is easy to navigate and complete in record time. A "full" mode installation will take less than five minutes on any modern PC. All three installation modes feature a complete development environment, meaning users don't require any additional applications to develop and compile software. Salix is a perfect choice for both beginners and advanced users who are looking for a Linux Distribution that is uncomplicated, fast and suitable for routine tasks.
