Development Release: Zenwalk Linux 6.0 RC1 |
| Jean-Philippe Guillemin has announced the availability of the first release candidate for Zenwalk Linux 6.0, a Slackware-based desktop distribution featuring the newly released Xfce 4.6 desktop: "Zenwalk 6.0 RC1 is available. Considering the size of the changelog, which probably makes it impossible to upgrade directly from Zenwalk 5.2 (due to the number of new packages and features), we decided that the version number should jump to 6.0. Here's a list of the most important changes: Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 with gspca (supports many USB webcams); Xfce 4.6; faster boot (tunned init scripts, with realtime I/O scheduler); PAM authentication has been added to the system; wicd is becoming the main network configuration tool; OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 replaces GNOME Office; improved suspend and hibernate, with Xfce power manager; new Netpkg with orphan dependencies and offline operation support; new artwork...." Here is the full release announcement. Download: zenwalk-6.0RC1.iso (679MB, MD5). |
