ZenWalk — I'm tempted
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first started using Linux, ZenWalk was one of the first systems I
| played around with. I had a nice install at one point, and that particular
| machine would install the old version of ZenWalk at the time but not whatever
| the new version happened to be. As a last-ditch effort/experiment, I tried to
| upgrade the old system, but since ZenWalk pretty much stopped supporting my
| old system but kept everything in the same repository, the upgrade pretty
| much bricked the install.
|
| Still, ZenWalk is a super-fast system with excellent hardware detection and
| less geeky pain than in Slackware, upon which Zenwalk is based.

Review: Zenwalk 5.2
,----[ Quote ]
| Somewhere along the line I got into my head that Slackware was a distro that
| involved having to compile everything. From what I can gather from Wikipedia,
| The Slackware Website, and some comments to my Gentoo post, I was wrong.
| Gentoo apparently uses packages...

| This isn’t a review, just a suggestion that if you haven’t already tried
| Zenwalk then maybe you should give it a spin. Who knows, you might, like me,
| find that it’s the best OS you’ve ever used, bar none.

The 5 Best Xfce - based Linux Distributions
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve been talking a lot about window managers and desktop environments.
| Nowadays most major distros simply go for KDE or GNOME, but it is not very
| common to see a distro use XFCE. This is a very sleek and useful little
| desktop environment, which provides great GTK compatibility and increases
| speed. Today we’ll take a quick look at which distros you should choose if
| you wish to have an instant Xfce experience.

Xfce 4.6 Alpha Available With New Features
,----[ Quote ]
| The final release of the Xfce 4.6 desktop environment was supposed to come
| this month, but instead the first alpha release has finally come about. Xfce
| 4.4 was originally released in January of 2007, so it has been quite a while
| since this lightweight desktop environment has received a major update. This
| release though does introduce a fair number of changes, which we have covered
| in this article.

New Xfce beta focuses on usability
,----[ Quote ]
| Not only do the dozens of small changes add up to a level of usability that
| users at any level of experience can value, but the 4.6 beta is even faster
| than 4.4. Individually, most of the changes in 4.6 may be minor, but the
| overall result promises to be one of the best user experiences available on
| the free desktop.
