I'm glad that you are satisfied with Zenwalk as IMO it's currently the best Slackware-based distro.<BR/><BR/>I'll be trying and reviewing more distros soon so watch out.jun auzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14949001210993384627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-84193135071699373352008-02-25T18:59:00.000+08:002008-02-25T18:59:00.000+08:00I'm a distromaniac and have tried them all. However, after playing with Zenwalk 5.0 I have stuck with it and installed it on my main box. I was impressed that a slack distro could be so easily maintained.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your review.

I am a Linux newbie and found that I could even get the Pesky 3Com PCMCIA wireless card to work very quickly using the great how tos on the Zenwalk site - installing the *.inf windows driver via ndiswrapper (could not get it to work properly on other distros). It is fast reliable and does exactly what is says on the tin with no fuss. For my part Vector wouldn't finish the install properly on my laptop, wolvix wouldn't do the 3Com thing - So I can heartily recommend <B> ZENWALK</B>Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-25594911690286559772008-02-21T01:06:00.000+08:002008-02-21T01:06:00.000+08:00I installed 4.8 on my wide screen notebook and I loved it. Unfortunately, Zenwalk was unable to adjust to the with of the screen and I had to take it off as everything was stretched and distorted. I'm wondering if this issue has been fixed in the latest release?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-87172039074521756012008-02-21T00:00:00.000+08:002008-02-21T00:00:00.000+08:00I prefer wolvix to Zenwalk. You might also want to try out Vector. I think that they are both more complete and polished than zenwalkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-12511828629589506002008-02-20T22:43:00.000+08:002008-02-20T22:43:00.000+08:00Thanks all for the comments. I honestly haven't tried WolviX yet, so I guess I would have to agree with Werewolf here. <BR/><BR/>Frugalware is already on my list, and I shall write a review about it real soon.jun auzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14949001210993384627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-52563536592942523792008-02-20T20:13:00.000+08:002008-02-20T20:13:00.000+08:00the sooner it has automatic install of nvidia and ATI drivers for 3D,..and one-click updating instead of netpkg gslapt etc <BR/><BR/>the better<BR/>Default wallpapers are crap,..whole style looks a bit flat and 2D<BR/>little wonder people stay with VistaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-28626592522648310702008-02-20T19:42:00.000+08:002008-02-20T19:42:00.000+08:00I would be interested to read your review about Frugalware.... and see what's your opinion about this distro<BR/>@Allen : Zenwalk (if you have to choose betwen those 2)Werewolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-70470124459642074882008-02-20T09:42:00.000+08:002008-02-20T09:42:00.000+08:00Nice Review. I would love to try Zenwalk too. I have been using Ubuntu for several months already and I want something different and something lighter. I'm torn between Zenwalk and WolviX.
