Salix OS:About/de
Salix ist eine auf Slackware basierende Linuxdistribution, die simpel, schnell und einfach zu nutzen ist. Außerdem ist Salix voll rückwarts kompatibel mit Slackware, so kommen Slackware Benutzern die Salix Paketquellen zu gute, die sie als eine hochwertige "extra" Quelle für ihre bevorzugte Software nutzen können. Ähnlich eines Bonsais ist Salix klein, leicht & das Produkt unendlicher Pflege.

Installationsarten
Salix has three different modes of installation:
- Full: Everything that is included in the iso is installed. That includes the Xfce desktop environment, the Firefox web browser and Claws-mail email client, a complete OpenOffice.org office suite, a Java Runtime Environment, the Totem media player and Exaile music manager, the gslapt package manager and several other applications, always following the "one application per task" rationale.
- Basic: This installs only the Xfce desktop environment with the Firefox web browser and the gslapt package manager. Ideal for advanced users that would like to install a lightweight Xfce and add their own choice of applications.
- Core: Only the minimum essentials for a console system to start are included. A graphical environment is not provided. This is ideal if you are an experienced user and want to customize your installation for any specific purpose, such as a web server, file server etc.
The installation is text dialog based, but easy to navigate and complete. It is also very fast; a "full" mode installation will take less than 5 minutes on any modern PC. All three installation modes come with a complete development environment, so users don't need to add anything to start developing and compiling applications.
