New release: Zenwalk 4.8
The stable release for Zenwalk Linux 4.8 is now available.
According to the Zenwalk home page this is the fastest working version so far.
Some of the new features are:
- Kernel is 2.6.22.9 which has a new wireless stack and the very anticipated scheduler for better reactivity and lower power consumption.
- Firefox and Thunderbird are gone. In are their open and free twin brothers IceWeasel and IceDove.
- New multimedia browsers and players AND 1000 packages ready for downlad from the repository which include OpenOffice 2.3.0, the latest KDE and GNOME.
As allwyas the iso download is remarkably short (less than 500MB) BUT so far the only updated edition is the standard edition. I can’t wait for them to bring the LiveCD on.
