    New linux flavor in the market..Dunno if u guys know it....

    Hey friends,
    I have been using a new flavor of linux called Zenwalk. It is really a good flavor of all the other flavors i had used till now.
    Well zenwalk is not very new to market. It exist from past few months. But i guess its not gaining users attention towards it...
    Any ways there are alot of advantages youll get from it, which no other distro will give you. Jst try zenwalk and i am sure you will love it....

    Here is the link....zenwalk.org

    P.S: The interview conversation with zenwalk creator Mr. Jp is attached as an attachment... Plz go thru it and decide how best zenwalk is for you....Pass this message to all your friends.

    Zenwalk isn't exactly "new". It's been around a while, although it used to be called something else: Minislack. Basically if you like Slackware you should do fine with Zenwalk in my opinion.

    It's actually more like "past few years!" I remember it was around when I first started using Linux almost 2 years ago. It's definitly a nice distro, I liked it when I tried it then, but I just went back to Slackware when they changed the name to Zenwalk and started requiring more resources. If I remember correctly they do a little better job at autodetecting the hardware than regular Slack, which is plus in the Desktop market, but still fall short from other smaller distros.

    BTW, XFce is the best desktop environment!

    Looks cool, but I have come to the conclusion that Arch is staying on this laptop until it dies...

    I have always wanted to give XFce a try though...
