Wolvix, My Kind of Wolf
Wolvix is probably one of the fastest rising distros today. First released 2 years ago, it has already gained plenty of loyal followers and is steadily going up in the ranks of Linux distributions over at Distrowatch. In fact, I received a couple of comments at this blog and some emails telling me to try Wolvix. So what’s so special about this beastly-named distro? I’m here to find out.
Wolvix, as described from its main website, is a LiveDistro built from Slackware and the Linux-Live scripts. It's a desktop and multimedia oriented Linux distribution designed to suit the needs of regular to advanced desktop users. Wolvix comes with the XFCE desktop environment and the Fluxbox window manager and includes a carefully selected group of development, graphics, multimedia, and network and office applications.
There are currently two flavors of Wolvix, namely Wolvix Cub and Wolvix Hunter. The latest version is 1.1.0. Since I’ve read plenty of reviews about Wolvix that were mostly for the Hunter Edition, I decided to get Wolvix Cub 1.1.0.
