Salix OS Live 13.1.1 LXDE
Salix OS is a distro based on Slackware. Slackware, as you probably already know, has not had a reputation as being the easiest distro to use. Salix OS makes Slackware accessible to more users by making it easier to install, configure and manage. You can get Salix OS with the Xfce or LXDE desktop environments. For this review, I decided to use the LXDE version of Salix OS.
The Desktop
This version of Salix OS uses the LXDE desktop environment. A version with Xfce is also available for download. LXDE is a great desktop environment for those on older or limited hardware, it doesn’t require the same amount of system resources as KDE or GNOME.
There are three icons on the desktop when you boot into it; My Documents, Salix Online and Salix IRC Support. The Salix Online icon loads the Salix OS wiki. If you are new to Salix OS, it’s a good idea to spend some time reading through the available documentation, especially the FAQ. It may help you if you run into any problems.
The installed desktop features the unique and colorful Salix OS wallpaper.
