Zenwalk

[The Mad Rapper]

Have any of you used Zenwalk? If so, what did you think of it? How do their repositories work?

I am considering giving their Openbox version a spin...

No first hand experience ( I'm a newcomer to Linux ) but it looks like a interesting distro. Would you say based around the current Ubuntu 10.4 ?

Let us know how you get on? I'm looking for something foolproof for the other half!!!! That I can set up and she can't "fiddle" with!!!

Had you thought about trying Debian? That's about as stable as they come, and as Ubuntu is based on Debian, using the repositories etc. is exactly the same

Is Zenwalk not based on Slackware..... I tried it a few years ago but have not been back, I don't think there was a specific reason.

Yes, it is.

I have the latest version of Slackware (13.1), but haven't tried it yet. I used to use Ubuntu exclusively, but 10.04 was buggy as ****, so I've been using #!CrunchBang since then.

Open Box is the best WM bar none
