The idea of a well proven, full-blown/feature-rich Debian based system with a very recent kernel (3.15.6), running - with persistence - from a USB flash drive, sounds quite intriguing. If I can come up with a thumb drive with enough capacity, I might give this new release a try... just, umm, because...

I chose MATE because I prefer it. KDE is usually fairly bloated while Openbox and Fluxbox are usually lacking in bells and whistles. For me personally, XFCE is a close second to MATE it's just a matter of personal preference.nubc wrote:For those who tried it, how did you pick the desktop environment of Salix 14.1? (KDE, Ratpoison, Xfce, Openbox, Fluxbox) Please give details, and feel free to compare the different DEs. Did you notice that, at least for Xfce, the devs changed root access from "su" to "sudo"? Am I correct that I have to install Salix because it doesn't run as a liveCD? [Edit: I just checked the Salix website, and read that one dev is in charge of liveCD architecture.] Generally, does each DE/WM have the same apps, or do apps substantially differ between DE/WMs?
