14 DAY TRIAL // Salix 14.1 RC1, a GNU/Linux distribution based on Slackware that is simple, fast, easy to use, and based on the Xfce desktop environment, is ready for testing.
Salix 14.1 RC1 marks the release of yet another development version in the series, and the distribution is moving fast towards the final build.
“It took us a while to do that, the most important obstacle was EFI support. With almost noone having access to EFI PCs it was really hard to implement and test. But I think we're ready now. The 64bit iso should support EFI out of the box. This is a Release Candidate, which means that if no important bugs are found, it will be released as final soon,” reads the announcement.
The distribution also switched completely to sudo, and it has replaced the old su package. Also, a number of packages have been implemented.
A complete list of new features can be found in the changelog. Download Salix Xfce 14.1 RC1 right now from the website.
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
