Abiword and Gnumeric are more light then openoffice but openoffice is the best.
Maybe in the next version we can think of an application instead of brasero.


Ok, Kerd. I also use openoffice.org, and I know it's the best. The suggestion was intended for software for older computers. Retrieve older hardware is something that interests me. However, a modern solution based on Fluxbox as you propose is great. Pure speed. Thanks.

Love the LXDE version. I'm currently installing the Fluxbox one and will post later saying what I think.

Have you guys considered LibreOffice? It's still beta, but it's much more responsive than OO. AlienBOB has a package for it.

Xfburn is nice.

EDIT: If you guys need any help translating it into Brazilian Portuguese, let me know.

LibreOffice is beta for now, we considered it when will be a stable version.
Yes xfburn is nice but it have a lot of depdendencies, so to use xfburn you must install xfce too.

If you want to help us to translate read this: http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/H ... alix_tools and this: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=642

Are you sure? I think that you just (not really "just") need to install Thunar components, am I wrong? I was using Xfburn under Ubuntu 8.10 (GNOME) without installing Xfce.

Yes I'm sure.
Look the dep file of xfburn, there is xfce, or prove to install it on salix-fluxbox.
On salix-fluxbox it requests 3 packagers: libburn libisofs xfce
So xfburn request xfce.

Sure, I've already seen that.
I was just wondering if it is a mistake of the Team or maybe an option while building/compiling

Please see Debian -- Package Search Results -- xfburn

You do realize that this is neither debian nor ubuntu, right?

Of course I do. I was referring to the dependency list which is very easy to browse at with the debian WebUI for their repository database.

Query remains.

I think that what gapan meant to say was something like "debian and slackware have different packaging guidelines/criteria/rules/philosophies/etc, so the list of deps of a package in one distro have nothing to do with the list of deps of the same package on another distro"
