Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view: Major packages only (52) All tracked packages (226)
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 If you are looking for a good Slackware-derived, user-friendly release, IMHO you can't beat Salix. You also get a choice of decent window managers, including XFCE.

 I installed beta3.

It works, but I initially had difficulty with screen dimming; a laptop power saving issue which I needed to add a line in lilo to get around.

I was surprised at how large, once installed, this is now; never used to be like that. It just about filled a 10gb partition;so its not worried about space.

Comes with a lot of python scripts for control of screen etc.

Still uses the icewm as main window manager.

So... Cons ... takes up a large amount of space on hard drive/partition....personally I did not like all those python scripts...came with both qt5 and qt4 which made it a kind of bloat ware distro; I had to uninstall a lot of software including libreoffice just to make space.

Pros...is still responsive...based on slackware; so you can still install slackware packages.

Would I use it? I think it has gone in the wrong direction for myself.

 This is the perfect example. The copy is worst than the original.

Beta 4 nor beta3 not worked on usb with dd.

Web absolutelinux is a full disaster. On about - install guide they explain news. On about -getting started, they "started" with the control panel.

Could the web explain how to install on a real pc? (not virtual machine)

I'll stay with the original, Slackware. Run smooth.
