Salix OS is a Slackware-based linux distribution. The released alpha is available in both 32 and 64-bit versions.
Changelog:
* New and improved gtk system tools!

* Fixed properly identifying scsi hard drives and ram disks during installation.
* Fixed missing fonts that caused some screensavers to crash.
* Improved boot times
* Renamed confusingly named buttons when setting up user accounts.
* New artwork. It still needs some tuning though.
* Added salix-man package that provides a manpage with an overview of admininstration commands for Salix. Run “man salix” for more.

* Parole replaces Totem
