Zenwalk Continues To Impress With 5.2 Beta
While our friends at DistroWatch only rate Zenwalk as the 19th most popular Linux distribution, we have been very impressed by their recent releases and have felt that it is a distribution worth trying as it is an unsung hero. With the Zenwalk 5.2 Beta having been released yesterday, we immediately took this new release for a quick test-drive.
This first test release of Zenwalk 5.2 delivers updated packages such as the Linux 2.6.25 kernel and the Xfce 4.4.2 desktop environment, but in addition, the package manager has been rewritten, there is now "out of the box" DVD menu support through dvdnav, CPU scaling and control support, improved suspend-and-resume, and also in place is new Zenwalk artwork. The CPU scaling improvements are coming through the use of the PowerThen Daemon. Zenwalk developers have also made available a web-based package database viewer and user repository, in conjunction with Zenwalk 5.2.
