Review: Zenwalk Linux 5.0
Zenwalk Linux is a Slackware-based distribution that has set a personal goal for itself to be one of the slimmest and fastest distributions out there. Their focus in this distribution is towards a strong graphical desktop and multimedia implementation. But how does Zenwalk perform? Is it ready for the new user, or is this a distribution for an eyecandy starved Linux hacker with time on their hands? Let's look and find out.
Install
When you first bootup the Zenwalk install CD, you're greeted with a simple boot prompt. While this might be a bit frightening for new users, a simple stroke of the return key will get you past this. It loads fairly quickly from this point and drops immediately into the Zenwalk setup screen. In this window is five options. Keymap, Partition, AutoInstall, Install, and Exit. Unless you're someone who likes to fiddle and tweak, AutoInstall is the best option here. While the installer is text based with a graphical installer appearance, there's very little interaction you need to perform to install Zenwalk onto your machine.
