What's new in Salix OS Xfce Live 13.37:

This includes the same applications and packages as the regular Salix Xfce 13.37, 32 or 64 bits, with the following additions:

· grub2, for a beautiful boot menu and options;

· liveclone, for creating your own custom live CD/USB;

· remmina, for connecting to RDP server (like Windows or VirtualBox 4+), VNC server, NX server, SSH/SCP;
· salix-live-installer, for installing Salix on a hard disk.

What have been corrected since the first alpha release:

· root password option in the grub2 menu;
· proxy option in the grub2 menu;
· Remmina replaces rdesktop;
· weird mountpoints was shown in the peristence wizard
· possibility to keep changes directly (without a first reboot) while setting the peristence file if it's big enough
· installation error with lilosetup in some configurations
· loopback.cfg is now fully supported, either with the limited grub2 1.98 and with the grub2 1.99+

· power down/reboot problem was hanging in some situations
