Zenwalk 6 â Gnome

,----[ Quote ]
| So how does it compare with my distro of choice (Wolvix)? Very well, although 
| on my hardware Wolvix Wine performance is better than Zenwalk as is many of 
| the emulation projects I am running.  The memory footprint for running 
| Zenwalk and a few basic operations was a respectable 120mbâvery impressive, 
| infact even running a rather large document in OO didnât take it much above 
| 150mb.   Compare that to Ubuntu which has a footprint in similar conditions 
| of 255mb.

Review: Zenwalk 6.0

,----[ Quote ]
| Ok, so Iâd say Zenwalk is a good, beautiful distro. ÂI would only recommend
| it to a new user if they have done their research on this Linux thing. ÂThey
| need to know how to find help or why Firefox is called Iceweasel or they need
| to have a geek friend they can ask. ÂFor Linux veterans, Zenwalk seems nice
| and easy. ÂIt seems to give all the power of Slackware with none of the
| (IMHO) BS. ÂThe repos are not as large as Fedora or Ubuntu, so check that you
| donât need programs that arenât there or are ok with compiling software. ÂIâm
| still of the opinion that anyone who is unhappy with his or her current
| distro should try this one out. ÂYou may find it to be a good fit. ÂIt has
| nice, light requirements including Pentium 3 and 128 MB RAM so it might be
| great for resurrecting some old computers without having to resort to
| a âlightâ distro. ÂItâs also good if you like Xfce or Gnome. ÂThere does not
| appear to be an official KDE version.

Review: Zenwalk 6.0, A Sprint And A Stumble

,----[ Quote ]
| THE first real connection I made at an emotional level with a Linux
| distribution was with Zenwalk, back in its version 2.0 days, and it was that
| connection which persuaded me to make my first (modest) cash donation to an
| Open Source project.

First Look: Zenwalk Linux 6.0

,----[ Quote ]
| In conclusion, we really enjoyed playing around with this distribution. It's
| blazing fast, it's fun and simple and it's as up-to-date as it can be. If not
| as a replacement of your main desktop, you should definitely give Zenwalk 6.0
| a try in your spare time. Who knows, it could be love at first sight.

ZenWalk â 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 isnât a review, just a suggestion that if you havenât already tried
| Zenwalk then maybe you should give it a spin. Who knows, you might, like me,
| find that itâs the best OS youâve ever used, bar none.
