“Zenwalk Linux is a Slackware based distribution introduced in
early 2004 that aims to be fast, easy, modern. Zenwalk tends to
have a very loyal user-base in addition to leaving most distro
hoppers and reviewers impressed. Most agree with Zenwalk’s latest
tagline: It just works.

“It is quite an ambitious project as it offers and maintains
five different editions. The Standard Edition is the flagship
version for the project. It’s a complete system for desktops,
laptops, and servers. The Core Edition is a basic version of Linux
with no X server, no graphical environment, and no applications.
It’s for those who like to build their own system their own way.
The Live Edition is the installable Live CD that will boot any of
12 common languages. And finally, there are the alternative
graphical environment editions: the GNOME Edition and the Openbox
Edition.”
