Talk:Slax

message: A lot of this article reads like an advertisement. It's not really a bad article, it just needs to be wikified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauric (talk • contribs) 00:04, 15 July 2006
:Can please someone with more knowledge do a rewrite of this article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.64.11.35 (talk) 03:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs a re-write 

message: The fact that the table of contents is so long bothers me.  Is it necessary to have such a long list?  Encyclopedic -wise, such a long description of derivative distributions is just a list...which is not the intent of Wikipedia.

replies: text: I trimmed down the list to only distros that are listed on DistroWatch. I also reorganized the article so there aren't as many subsections. --Jtalledo (talk) 22:51, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poorly organized 

message: While I certainly agree that such pages need organizational focus, including brevity in connected element descriptions, being listed on Distrowatch is not a reasonable discriminating factor in and of itself.  What about limiting the connections to SLAX based on a combination of Distrowatch (popularity for end users) and Live Developers page [www.live-developers.org/CategoryDistributions] for technical and community relevance?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.85.203.156 (talk) 16:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organization 

message: it says it uses xfce as default and not kde. but there is an image of slax and kde, which i think could be missleading. i propose an image with slax and xfce.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.135.153 (talk) 05:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  image 

message: This page does not accomplish what should be its main goal, which is to explain in plain English what its subject IS. It's a type of software; okay. It runs from removable media; okay. But what is it? An operating system? A game? A big ol pile of programs? This is the first thing that a page like this should address for the uninformed, non-geek masses...
Personaly i think it does that job quite well ..-xhozt  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xhozt (talk • contribs) 16:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is SLAX? 

message: I would like to state that Slax should not have its article deleted on the grounds of notability.  On distrowatch it can be shown that in the last 6 months it has a page ranking of 21, which is much higher than redhat (rank 30), which I am sure will not be removed due to notability.  The notice also states that it will be removed for not having any/enough secondary sources.  I am not 100% sure on wikipedia's policy on sources, but a short search brought up:
*Top ranking on a live cd list: http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php
*A review from linux.com: http://www.linux.com/feature/127892
*An article on the installation process: http://polishlinux.org/linux/slax/slax-on-usb-drive/
*An article on how Slax works: http://polishlinux.org/linux/slax/slax-60-how-does-it-work/
*Description and mirror: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/524730/Slax.html
*Book source: http://www.amazon.com/Live-Linux-CDs-Customizing-Bootables/dp/0132432749/ref=tag_tdp_sv_edpp_i/102-1920470-9825748
*The old slax forum: http://slax.hosting4p.com/forum/
If it is needed I can rewrite the article. I am unfamilliar with much of the standards of wikipedia, but quite familliar with Slax.24.105.229.99 (talk) 12:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
