Slackware versus Zenwalk
I didn't realize there was a forum for Zenwalk when I posted this.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...lk-4175564188/ All advice appreciated. Edit: I noticed when I went to the distrowatch site that the download doesn't seem to be available??? |
whats Zenwalk with out Slackware. I think it is all the same to me. So I go with the base system. It's all about that Base. :)
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=zenwalk here it is http://zenwalk.linuxfreedom.com/download.html |
Thanks for the links.

Hi,
For clarification ;) Zenwalk ** IS ** and ** WANT TO BE ** a vanilla Slackware system with very few modifications at system level ! Zenwalk is a small 1GB version of Slackware with many post-install configurations and tunings already done out of the box, with a ready to use polished desktop environment, added graphical system tools, and "one application per task" (in fact : back in the day in 2004, as far as I know Zenwalk has been the first Linux distribution to provide the concept of 1 app/task...). You could download an original Slackware (or preferably buy a DVD at https://store.slackware.com/cgi-bin/store ), then install the set of Zenwalk packages ("z" serie) on it, then reboot : you would get "exactly" Zenwalk (without the 1 app/task cleanup). Considering performance, you won't notice much differences between Zenwalk and Slackware : Zenwalk is just a little bit faster to boot (less services, optimized rc scripts) ; and a little bit more responsive (fewer loaded libraries, no Qt (Qt is optional in Zenwalk)). All the best :) JP |
