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.

 Salix OS 15 is quite a stable, fast and lightweight distribution that run smoothly on older PCs as well as newer ones.

It comes with an out-of-the-box refined and polished Xfce desktop that rivals desktops such as Mate and/or Cinnamon in terms of aesthetics and ease of use while keeping a small resources footprint.

The installation on HDD is relatively straight forward and the selection of per-installed out-of-the box programs such as Libreoffice, Firefox, etc..is well thought after, including the necessary utilities to tweak and monitor the system.

I'd like to thank the authors of this accomplished distribution that I personally have up and running on few desktops and laptops at home.

 Light, Fast, Easy use and out of the box

Salix is a real good choice for people to use at work as well as al home. All the necessary programs ( Libreoffice, Gimp, mail, firefox, cups, etc.) are installed by default. And it is extremely light on system resources.

it's just perfect: performance is great, it's stable, it's solid, it's nice out of the box. It is a round distribution in all respects.

You will not regret installing this magnificent linux distribution, it is excellent in every aspect

 I was a long term Slackware user. Later Zenwalk, then Salix user.
Salix is still doing its best to keep the standard we used to.
The selection of applications is still great. The additional packages available are somewhat limited, but still acceptable.
However, the 5+ years release cycle of Slackware as a base of Salix is unacceptable in this overclocked world. All of the Salix ecosystem will be obsoleted with the speed of light.
Therefore changes are needed.
Salix should choose an other big and more recent distro (maybe devuan or debian) as a base.
