Development Release: Salix OS 13.1 Beta 1
Salix OS George Vlahavas has announced that the first beta release of Salix OS 13.1, an Slackware-based distribution optimised for desktop use, is now ready for testing: "Here is Salix 13.1 beta 1, coming shortly after the announcement of Slackware 13.1 beta 1. It's available in both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and it's another step towards the final release of Salix 13.1. Most bugs should be fixed by now and the result should be really close to what the final release is going to be. Changes since 13.1 alpha 1: Simple Scan replaces XSane; Evince replaces ePDFView; cryptsetup and mdadm have been added, making it easier to setup LVM; installer does not auto-reboot after completion, but prompts the user to select between rebooting, or exiting the installation to the command line; upgraded Linux kernel to version 2.6.33.3; fixed the locale setup window during installation...." See the full release announcement for more details. http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.html?f=17&t=813

I am upgrading my antiX BASE tonight, and I added KDE to this base. I am happy to report that the Debian Sid copy of KDE 4.4 has been approved to move into Testing, which is REALLY GOOD NEWS. That means that we will have KDE 4.4 in Debian Squeeze! The update, as of this time, is KDE 4.4.3.

Finally figured out how to get CFhakra to load on an INTEL 630i WOO WOO
Chakra A5. Looks good, works good. Had to put in a wireless Linksys to get drivers for the new RTealtek 811. Reminds me of looking for the modem drivers for 98 and it tells you to go on line to get it.
