Zenwalk GNU Linux


Last Update: 2024-02-02 02:44 UTC

Zenwalk Linux (formerly Minislack) is a Slackware-based GNU/Linux operating system with a goal of being slim and fast by using only one application per task and with a focus on graphical desktop and multimedia usage. Zenwalk features the latest Linux technology along with a complete programming environment and libraries to provide an ideal platform for application programmers. Zenwalk's modular approach also provides a simple way to convert Zenwalk Linux into a finely-tuned modern server (e.g. LAMP, messaging, file sharing).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 In my 10-year-old Intel Zeon computer with 2GB DDR2 RAM, I successfully installed Zenwalk 8.0 using VMWare Workstation. Previously, I had experience installing Slackware64 14.2 on regular hard disks, as well as VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox setups. After installing Zenwalk 8.0, I connected to a Slackware Current mirror and proceeded to upgrade all packages. Unfortunately, I neglected to search for the newer Zenwalk 15.0 version, resulting in the inability to install web browsers like Firefox or Google Chrome due to the distro's policy of only supporting new packages. Nevertheless, Zenwalk 8.0 comes with Chromium as the default browser, making it sufficient for browsing needs. One positive aspect was the ease of installing VMWare Tools and connecting to a Slackware Current mirror for package upgrades. Overall, Zenwalk 8.0 proves to be a suitable distro for both older and newer computers.

 Everything works except sound for flatpaks. I'm sure this is something that can be fixed

 I installed Zenwalk 8.0 in VMWare Workstation in my 12 year old Intel Zeon computer with 2GB DDR2 RAM. I used to install Slackware64 14.2 on regular hard disks, VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox installations. I installed Zenwalk8.0 and connected to a Slackware Current mirror and upgraded all packages. Zenwalk8.0 is an older version and I forgot to search for the newer Zenwalk15.0. As the Zenwalk distro is keeping the policy of new packages only, I cannot install Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers. Chromium is the default browser for Zenwalk8.0 distro. I found it very easy to install VMWare Tools and connect a Slackware Current mirror for upgradeing the software packages. It is a good distro for old and new computers.
