At first, I noticed the touchpad scrolling doesn't work. As a matter of facts, I found your blog searching Google for "Salix LXDE touchpad scroll". Then, while reading your blog post, I accidentally discovered how the scroll works. You can use all the surface of the trackpad, not just the edge. The trick is to use two fingers, dragging them down and up for scrolling.<br />Otherwise I agree with you, Salix is great .<br />My laptop: HP Compaq nx7400Cosmin Neculanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-83375317207498901122011-08-25T14:55:00.471+01:002011-08-25T14:55:00.471+01:00@robinsrantsandraves:

Anyway, even if I feel it uncomfortable, I always have fall-back solution... not to use it. That's better than single-sided Windows solution.

But it is intended to be in a pocket on a USB or CD. Plug&play.<br />As opposite, Salix is intended for installation. Hence, it has different approach in many places.<br />But still they feel like brothers. So many in common!DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-87374392694326737632011-08-25T13:51:10.739+01:002011-08-25T13:51:10.739+01:00My experiment with the LXDE version was amazing. O...My experiment with the LXDE version was amazing. On the LiveCD it was really quick! But once installed it was much slower, which makes no sense at all. I didn't care for LXDE on Salix, so using galapt I installed Xfce and removed the LXDE stuff. That's when things got really interesting and made even less sense:<br /><br />It won't let me multi-task for some strange reason. When I had the Startup Guide open and then opened a terminal to copy-and-paste commands into, the terminal would lock up until I closed any other open applications. Very strange. <br /><br />Perhaps I messed something up when I removed LXDE and loaded Xfce, or in my attempt at upgrading from 13.1 to 13.37. I'll try SalixOS again when the 13.37 Xfce LiveCD is ready. But my first experience with it was strange and disappointing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-82277054908049447922011-08-25T12:57:45.888+01:002011-08-25T12:57:45.888+01:00@Guillermo Garron:

You will just have to update it to the new version as google does not keep the old versions available for download. Or you could try the slackbuild of chromium, from slackbuilds.org. Salix is compatable with slackware so that should give you more options.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156378894231721217noreply@blogger.com
