Zenwalk Linux 2.4 has been
released
Our latest release sports a brand
new 2.6.16.1 kernel, and the latest udev, which provides improved support for
hotplugging devices - cleaning up the remains of the old hotplug system. Now
that the transition to a full udev is complete, we were also able to remove the
discover service. The changes were not limited to the base system though; with
the 2.4, a series of updated packages will be released (nearly 130 packages).
About the Zenwalk
Zenwalk is a GNU/Linux operating system, designed to
provide the following characteristics.
1. Modern (latest stable software)
2. Fast (optimized for performance capabilities)
3. Rational (one mainstream application for each task)
4. Complete (full development/desktop/multimedia
environment)
5. Evolutionary (simple network package management tool -
netpkg)
There are 2 versions of Zenwalk
Zenwalk (full version ~ 420MB iso download) is a complete
system : out of the box, you will be able to browse, mail, chat, listen to
music, program in C, Perl, Python, Ruby,.. watch videos in various formats,
write documents, print, scan, burn CD and DVD, connect your camera and edit your
photographs, without adding anything. Coders will like the full set of
development libraries and interpreters.
Zenwalk Core (~ 350MB iso download) is a Zenwalk system without
X applications. Zenwalk-core is intended to be used as a starting point to build
a custom desktop system or a server system, and for users with limited space on
their disk, or great perfectionists wanting to build their personal desktop
system themselves.

Some More Important News
As usual, our fast-paced development makes for a distro
that is on the edge of things. Our latest release sports a brand new 2.6.16.1
kernel, and the latest udev, which provides improved support for hotplugging
devices – cleaning up the remains of the old hotplug system. Now that the
transition to a full udev is complete, we were also able to remove the discover
service.
The changes were not limited to the base system though; with the 2.4, a series
of updated packages will be released (nearly 130 packages). Amongst them the
latest OpenOffice (2.0.2), Abiword (2.4.2.1), Gnumeric (1.6.2), the latest GTK2
(2.8.16), ...
In our continuous search for the best applications for our GTK2-based platform,
we have replaced two of our standard packages. Zenwalk 2.4 introduces Gnomebaker
and Xarchiver (respectively CD/DVD burner and archive manager) to replace
Graveman and File-Roller.
