Zenwalk 8.0 Linux Release Candidate 2 promises to be the last one, as the developer informs the community and public testers that it should be at 99% the stable target. Featuring the latest long-term supported Linux 4.4.13 kernel, the RC2 build of Zenwalk 8.0 already includes all the newest software releases, including the LibreOffice 5.1.3 office suite, Chromium 51.0 web browser, MPlayer 1.3 video player, FFmpeg 3.0.1 multimedia backend, and Slackware Current’s security updates.
