I first really want to get Saluki to a point where it feels very comfortable to new Puppy users and addresses all the common usability complaints:
Unfamiliar desktop and file manager
Crowded and confusing menus
Slap-dash applications
Dated look and feel
Saluki
- ISO size 150MB or smaller
- Based on Racy 5.2.2
- highly customizable and integrated xfce XFCE desktop environment
- every useful xfce panel applet
- compositing and true transparency out of the box
- Thunar file manager
- Midori browser built in with a choice of Latest Browsers to download
- every major gtk theme engine
- large number of fonts
- cursor themes
- full size icons throughout entire menu - no mini icons
- complete gnome icon set - this can be swapped out
(and an easy switcher is included)
- community contributed wallpapers
- updated glib now shows mounted drives in file open/save dialogs
- gtk returned to 2.24.8 - possible fix for gseal errors included in devx
- vattery
- acpid - supend, hibernate, powersaving modes,etc
- sven - most hotkeys should work
- annoying welcomefirstboot message moved to the tray
- gxmessage replaces xmessage
- sfs-on-the-fly

- Modular approach using interchangeable SFS
