The Zenwalk Team is happy to announce the Zenwalk 4.8 release.

After several release-candidates, it seems that we are ready for a very stable release. Overall, testers have found Zenwalk 4.8 the fastest version ever.

Kernel is now at 2.6.22.9, with its new wireless stack, tickless clock and 1000 Hz scheduler for better reactivity while lowering power consumption (ideal for laptops).

Talking about applications, the very visible change in 4.8 is the substitute of firefox and Thunderbird into the equivalent GNU Licence versions, named IceWeasel and IceDove. Zenwalk is setup with Firefox and Thunderbird support so that all softwares work with IceWeasel and IceDove.

Video/Xorg auto-configuration has been improved to handle widescreen monitors as well as to provide full features for Synaptics touchpads.
The fine-tuning of the user interface continues with new desktop artwork, new bootsplash.

Zenwalk 4.8 introduces GMusicBrowser, an application that can do everything you can dream of to categorize your music collection, edit tags, normalize filenames, and browse thousands of music files very easily.

Audacious has been removed (now available in the "Extra" repository), all functionality is now handled by other pieces of software, including GMusicBrowser (the jukebox), Streamtuner (the stream browser) and G-Mplayer (the multimedia player) , each taking care of their own specialty.

Thanks to our great community packagers, Zenwalk now boasts 1000 of recent packages in the "extra" repository, including OpenOffice 2.3.0, KDE 3.5.7, Gnome 2.18.3 and many other new packages as well as numerous language packs.

We hope you will enjoy working with Zenwalk 4.8 and we hope to see you soon on support.zenwalk.org to join one of the best Linux communities ;)

zenwalk从3.0开始，也用了一年多，是个很棒的发行，很适合我这样的菜鸟用。

很可惜，一直找不到国内的仓库（源？），国外也找不到一个快的，每次更新看着几k的速度，很郁闷。但有些软件发现新版本比旧版本好用，不更新又不爽。

zenwalk的包管理让我这个新手郁闷。太少软件了。

昨天在虚拟机上试了一下，真棒，确实是zen computing，系统设置基本上都有图形化工具了。
只可惜软件实在太少，源也太慢。

在单位连接源的速度还可以40-50k/s，简单配置了一下，上张图。

请问用zenwalk或者slackware怎么安装常用的软件啊？如amsn，amule，多媒体解码器等，源里没有就要自己编译吗？似乎有一个网站可以搜索下载，那是不是还要自己解决依赖包啊？

amsn用的是java吧？自己配置一下java字体装上就行了，多媒体解码器就从mplayer的网站直接下载，解压到/usr/share/win32下就行了

用slackware你还想自动解决依赖？swart之类的工具虽然可以，但是配套的设施和源都刚起步。

听说 zenwalk 4.8 使用了新的 artwork，我咋没看出来？

P.S. 我用 slk，就是因为不喜欢其他发行版自动解决依赖

Zenwalk确实是一个很棒的发行
