Going back through some slack based distros
( they are very cool and fast and lean with Xfce)

I'm missing something :( : I hope not, and am hope for nothing bad

http://wolvix.org/ = 404

ANy info? Just me ?

BTW anyone else noticed how '404' is entering the lingua franca more and more as in , "a 404 moment", "this is a 404"
Love it: geeks rule..

Still down. Can't access the forum either. I remember reading that wolvix was going to merge with another distro, although it would still be offered as a separate OS. Maybe it is just an end of the year adjustment. I did find a working alternate download mirror at:

It's sitting in my 'repo' waiting for a try. ;)

Loving ZenWalk 4.8; some issues with mplayer to be sorted but rocketship fast.
Pkg management well documented in manual and worked well for me so far.
XFCE and slack seems to be a good lean combo.
Good forum support.
Had good experience with VectorSOHO
Had difficult times with Goblin
Have not tried the real thing Slackware: somewhat intimidating :-\
Useful + + + : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computer_software.html

I had good experience with wolvix previously
:-\ wait and see.
There was some collaboration going on with Ultima Linux in the past, but I cant see any info re current state of Wolvix :(

I'm still familiarising my self with the various flavours in VMWare and VBox
( I aint an expert by any means ) and often have issues with setting up the VMtools and Vbox additions.
Still getting to grips with Samba and file set-ups and management.

There's some good how tos:

- and a useful Linux forum there

plus all the other Linux goodness floating about

This sounds better :thumb:

The site went down on Saturday, the day after Wolven left for a weeks well-earned R&R in Fjordland. As wolven hosts the wolvix site at home, I'm guessing his ISP is giving him problems. He'll be back in a couple of days and the site will be back up." }-
