Zenwalk 5.0: Slackware Made Somewhat Easier
,----[ Quote ]
| I tried Zenwalk back at v3.0 and liked it. It was a fast, sleek, minimalist
| OS based on Slackware, but supposedly only aimed at more technically advanced
| users. With the release of v5.0, I decided to try it again and see how far
| it's come in the past year or so.
| For those who aren't familiar with Zenwalk, here's a brief update: Zenwalk is
| a one-CD installation of Slackware which has a philosophy of only including
| one program for each task. It was originally called MiniSlack in the pre-1.0
| days when it shipped with WindowMaker as the desktop. Now, it's based on
| XFCE, supposedly has much better hardware detection, and is a more complete
| desktop overall. It's still based loosely on Slackware, using Slackware's
| packaging system and using LILO instead of GRUB as the boot loader, but it's
| a more complete OS out of the box, despite being smaller.

Dreamlinux: A Review
,----[ Quote ]
| In my mind, Dreamlinux is a great system. After you get it installed and
| configured, the rewards are great. This system gets an 8 out of 10 in my
| opinion. If a different installer was used, perhaps Anaconda or Ubuntu's
| installer, this system could reach it's full potential. Good job Dreamlinux
| team!

First Look at Zenwalk Linux 5.0-Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| Zenwalk is a Slackware-based Linux distribution designed to be slim, fast,
| complete and beautiful. It provides the latest stable versions for the
| included software and it’s optimized for high performance. It’s not bloated
| like most other distributions as it only provides one application for each
| task, but at the same time, it’s ready for common daily tasks out-of-the-box.

Review: Zenwalk 4.8 - Does Easier Mean Easy?

| Hey folks sorry for the delay, I seem to say that at the start of every
| article but the festive season has caused havoc lately. Anyway, I've been
| running Zenwalk 4.8 almost a week now and it did give some me more time to
| get a feel for it. I'd been told it was Slackware without the hassle, I'd
| even been told it was good for new users. Could this be true? Here's how I
| got on in my week with Zenwalk...

Review: Dreamlinux 2.2
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to choosing a Linux distribution, people tend to stick
| with the major players, such as Ubuntu, SUSE, or Fedora. However,
| every once in a while a distro comes along that offers a look at
| Linux in a new and fun way. One such distribution is Dreamlinux,
| a Morphix-based implementation of Linux that can be run from a
| single CD or installed on a hard drive. Dreamlinux 2.2 aims to
| offer a full range of desktop applications while providing a
| wealth of multimedia tools for easy production of
| professional-grade media.

| DreamLinux 2.2, based on Debian with bits borrowed from Morphix.

Dreamlinux 2.2 MME -- when dreams come true
,----[ Quote ]
| Dreamlinux is a fine distribution for a desktop multimedia center.
| It can already be a good competitor for other multimedia-centered
| distros like dyne:bolic or the Ubuntu clones like Linux Mint or
| Ubuntu Multimedia Center. If you are an experienced Linux user,
| Dreamlinux probably won?t offer you any extra value. But you may
| still consider recommending it for your non-geek friends that care
| for stability and great multimedia support out-of-the-box.
