Re: Salix Xfce 14.2alpha1
Hmm, one quirk: applications using ALSA directly (e.g. moc, alsamixer) don't work correctly, since they can't open the mixer. It looks like Pulse doesn't have ALSA emulation enabled by default. My current workaround is to comment out both lines in the default /etc/asound.conf . This make the system ...

Re: Salix Xfce 14.2alpha1
Hi all. Long time, no Salix!
I installed 14.2alpha1 on my HP Pavilion (ca. 2007) laptop. No issues to add to what others have already observed.
It works great - more beta than alpha quality, once you get past the installer - and is fast as all get out. I like it.

Re: Options for Salix if Slackware is forced to switch init
@ChuangTzu I'll agree that systemd is "not ideal", what with things like binary log format. I've yet to see it cause any serious issues since the early days of Fedora adoption, though. Personally I think there are bigger things to worry about. e.g. On the software front, FreeBSD is in sham...

Re: barebones box for Salix
I'd suggest going with Fitlet B, as the AMD E1 has hardware virtualization support. I don't believe anything marketed as a "Celeron" has that.

Re: Options for Salix if Slackware is forced to switch init
I don't care. Salix developers should use whatever is easiest for them, IMO.
And in truth I don't see what the big deal about systemd is. Sure it's got problems. So does the mass of duct tape and shell scripts that Slackware currently uses for its init system.

Re: [false alarm?] chfn binary making connections to DuckDuc
Okay - I can confirm this is a Metasploit thing. When Metasploit remote shell sessions are open, they appear on the target machine to be open to DuckDuckGo IPs... for some reason. Not sure if that's deliberate, as a faux stealth measure and/or demonstration; or something wrong. Probably the former b...

Re: [security?] chfn binary making connections to DuckDuckGo
Update: md5sums are the same for chfn on my laptop and the VM, so that probably rules out direct compromise of my own machines.
Edit: VirusTotal page for the checksum is clean, not that I trust that worth anything at all.
