Review: Zenwalk 6.2

“I downloaded and installed the “Core” version of
Zenwalk in October 2009 after a rough experience upgrading from
Xubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and have used it almost daily since then,
mostly for web browsing and other light tasks. I wanted to stick
with the XFCE environment, because I like it and it runs on an
older rig. The host machine is a Shuttle small form factor (a
“toaster” PC) running an Athlon 64 2800+ CPU, Nforce 3
250 chipset, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9550 AGP graphics, and a 160GB
harddrive.

“Zenwalk is a France-based distribution originally based on
Slackware. It first appeared in 2004 under the name
“Minislack”, and changed to the current name in 2005.
The current stable version, 6.2, was released in September 2009. At
Christmas 2009, Zenwalk was the 19th most popular distro tracked by
distrowatch.com, with an average of 375 page views per day. (This
placed the distro in roughly the same range as Kubuntu and
Knoppix.)”
