Logging in and commenting might get me a 13.37 if I’m very nice. A little searching on that page and I find 13.0.2 Salix VDI is available here. has a great selection of free/cheap VDIs, though a touch out of date. It seems one should be able to just use the.

My next step is to learn how to create a VirtualBox. The commands seem derived from Vim and one is warned that this is *not* a newbie-friendly distro. The idea is that all window management is handled via keyboard, with no mouse interaction required. I’ve been playing a little bit with VirtualBox, and in the time allotted last night, did not manage to install Salix, but I’m intrigued by the Ratpoison window manager’s premise. I’ve played around with the first four of these desktops at various times in the last year, but Ratpoison I’d never heard of. Based on 13.37, it comes in five flavours: Xfce, LXDE, Fluxbox, KDE and Ratpoison. Salix is a Slackware derivative I’d never heard of until a day or so ago.

Free download page for Project salixs salix-ratpoison-14.0.1.iso.Salix is a linux distribution based on Slackware that is simple and easy to use. Salix is available in a few desktop editions: MATE, Xfce, Fluxbox, OpenBox, KDE, and Ratpoison. I’m honestly not sure what site I was looking at when I saw a description of Salix RatPoison. Salix offers two versions of iso images: Live and Install, for i686 and x86-64 CPU.
