After being in development for the past three months, the Salix 14.2 Xfce Edition operating system has finally hit the stable channels and it is now available for download.

Based on the Slackware 14.2 GNU/Linux distribution and built around the lightweight and highly customizable Xfce 4.12 desktop environment, Salix 14.2 Xfce Edition ships with numerous improvements and new features that some of you who managed to test drive the Beta and Release Candidate pre-releases are already accustomed with. Of course, many of the core components and default applications have been updated to their latest versions.

Release highlights of Salix 14.2 Xfce Edition includes two new in-house built graphical system utilities, namely GUEFI boot manager for UEFI systems and GTKRepoSetup GUI for the command-line reposetup tool, Mozilla Firefox as default web browser, Linux kernel 4.4.19 LTS, GLibc 2.23, GCC 5.3.0, the latest LLVM/Clang compiler, as well as the eudev device management system.
