Get ready for Zenwalk

Wednesday, 23. January 2008, 15:32:44

,

Tonite I will check if Winbinder could run well on Wine, then I will dump Windows out of my box and live my life in a zen way using Zenwalk :D

Is there any Zenwalk user in this Opera community?

Bloggers plan to clean the beach from rubishWe got a bus!

I was running 3.0 and I think it was great for some reason
it began to give a weird error during the boot-up process until
it could not boot up any more.

I switched back to Xubuntu which I like a lot too but now I saw
all the new features of the 5.0 version and I want to re-install it again.

What I like about it is the fact that is Slackware-based distro. I like
simplicity and it does not get fat like Ubuntu.

Do you like Zenwalk 5.0????? I just finished downloading it and I am really
thinking to try it again, specially now that it supports wifi.

take care....

Yes, Zenwalk 5.0 is great. It has great support for WiFi and very easy to use. I installed it on my laptop and run well, unless my mousetap (touchpad).

@aguspuryanto
In theory, you can install Zenwalk 5.0 on Pentium 2 with 128mb of RAMs.

I myself never tried to do so, because my Pentium 2 machine damaged by the lightning/thunder.

Please give a try and write your experience ^_^

I went for it and installed ZW 5.0 and it rocks! No more Ubuntu for me. It is simple and fast and it does what I want to do. I have absolute control of the operating system which is very important for me. I can update any program without updating the whole OS.

I have a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop with 2GB Ram and ZW was able to recognize my Centrino processor and I was able to surf the net in less than a minute. :-)
The only lib that I installed was libdvd2 because I like to watch movies in my laptop. Iceweasel browser works to perfection and installed all the add-ons that I wanted without any glitch. I also installed Mcrypt which I love and Geany works great to write C programs.

At this point, I don't see myself returning to Ubuntu. Don't get me wrong, it is great but it is not my personal favorite. Slackware and Zenwalk all the way.

Yes rite, I myself love slackware and its subdistro(s) for their simplicity :D

At this point I'm stil using 2 OS' and hoping to fully play with Linux.
