Something definitely wrong with this article.....

It is build on top of the GNU/linux distributions Slackware and Salix OS.I'm curious, but leery. Slackware takes some learning, and this appears to be a one-person distro, which is hard to pull off effectively. I'm willing to give it a try though - I agree we need a replacement for init, but definitely am adverse to systemd (and the team pushing it).So, how the hell do you pronounce this moustachioed distribution?
