Dear Salix users,
We have seen a lot of changes in Salix since 13.1.1 and to reflect this fact, I am currently preparing the Salix Start up guide 13.1.2. It is an on-going process, and I have just finished the first draft. Apart from obvious typos and grammatically mistakes, I would like to gather your suggestions and ideas to improve the quality of the doc to the next level!
What I am particularly interested in is to add a section to answer questions that are often asked by new users of Salix and Linux in general, as one of the most important points in writing this start up guide is to remove some stumbling stones away from those users.
Once prepared, the future Salix 13.2 start up guide will adopt the new format.
Best wishes
tsuren

Excellent work tsuren,
That's a superb overlook of the system and its functionalities. Maybe I have missed it but I have not seen a topic specifically mentioning system upgrades. Should it be added somewhere? Also, would the Guide be available in Transifex for translation?

Antonio

About translation, we're not usre how to do it technically. We encountered a number of difficulties with the previous system even if it is working. So the translation will of course be possible, perhaps through transifex, but not for soon.

tsuren,
Thank you for your work on the this. I think that it is very informative and looks great. I'll be reading through it over the next few days and providing my feedback as I come across things. Here's my first few comments:
Page Format - I really like the layout but it seem to me that on every page the first line of text is jammed up against the header. I think adding a little white space between the header and text will result in a better visual balance of the page.
Paragraph Numbering - On the major paragraph titles (i.e 1.Salix OS at a Glance), I would suggest either to add the trailing 0 (1.0) or drop the decimal point. Also adding a space between the number and header would separate the number and title.
Package Management "With Installpkg & rmeovepkg" - I thought that the recommended command line method was to use "spkg". I think it should be at least added as an alternative.
That's it for now. Again thank for this document and your effort on putting it together.
Regards
Rich

points taken, though I am still not entirely sure about the final design of the paragraph numbering. i played around with it for some time, but never got something i liked.laprjns wrote: Paragraph Numbering - On the major paragraph titles (i.e 1.Salix OS at a Glance), I would suggest either to add the trailing 0 (1.0) or drop the decimal point.

never used spkg... i will add it as an option. i did not know that is a recommended method of installing a package. for me, installpkg and removepkg are the easiest to remember, and you can also use it without passing a command parameter.laprjns wrote: Package Management "With Installpkg & rmeovepkg" - I thought that the recommended command line method was to use "spkg".

Re: Salix Start up Guide 13.1.2 - 13.2
A very good job tsuren!
Some things I noticed:
* Page 4: typo "minumu" instead of "minimum"
* It's "Salix Codecs Installer", not "Salix Codec Installer"
* Page 19: it's "ncurses", not "ncurse"
* Mentioning the salix manpage somewhere would be nice.
* Is the VoIP line needed in the table in page 36?
* I agree with laprjns that the text seems too close to the header

Noted. Thanks for the comments! in the draft version 2, i tried to improve the spacing between the header and the main text. i think it looks better, well, i can still put more space if needed. just need to move around the pics again in this case.gapan wrote: * Page 4: typo "minumu" instead of "minimum"
