Zenwalk Linux is a complete system out of the box. Feature enabled after install are browsing, mail, chat, video and music playback, programming in [[C programming language|C]], [[Perl]], [[Python programming language|Python]], [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]], [[word processing]], printing, scanning, burning [[CD]] and [[DVD]]. Also a full set of development utilities and libraries are installed for programmers. + '''Zenwalk Linux''' (formerly '''Minislack''') is a [[Slackware]] [[Linux]] based [[Linux distribution]] that focuses on Internet application, multimedia and programming tools. |

- |
|||
- * Be simple and fast |
|||
- * Provide one application for one task |
|||
- * Be a complete development/desktop environment |
|||
- * Be small so that it can be distributed on a single CD |

- '''Zenwalk (full version ~ 470MB iso download)''' is a complete system : out of the box, you will be able to browse, mail, chat, listen to music, program in C, Perl, Python, Ruby,.. watch videos in various formats, write documents, print, scan, burn CD and DVD, connect your camera and edit your photographs, without adding anything. Coders will like the full set of development libraries and interpreters. |

== GNU/Linux change == |
|||
Hi there. I noticed that the Zenwalk web site mentions the distribution as GNU/Linux, not Linux. Perhaps we could rename the article and all subsequent errors? |
|||
: No, it does not. Near the top of the zenwalk.org web site it says: "Zenwalk Linux - Overview". Then the first sentence starts with: "Zenwalk is a GNU/Linux operating system, ...". Most people would conclude from this that the name is either "Zenwalk" or "Zenwalk Linux". [[User:80.126.109.170|80.126.109.170]] 16:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC) Tibors |
|||
In the same page further down below we have this sentence: "There are three editions of Zenwalk GNU/Linux". Also the official announcement of the latest release refers to the distro as "Zenwalk GNU/Linux": http://support.zenwalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21477 <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/91.184.75.144|91.184.75.144]] ([[User talk:91.184.75.144|talk]]) 22:43, 25 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Formal tone == |
|||
Can someone please point me in the right direction regarding this problem? [[User:Sweetnsourbkr|Sweetnsourbkr]] 15:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC) |
|||
This article is getting more detailed and well written everyday. [[User:Sweetnsourbkr|Sweetnsourbkr]] and I have been specially active correcting and enriching it lately. I believe the days it needed a more "formal tone" are over. We are on the right track. Therefor I am deleting this notice. [[User:Antidrugue|Antidrugue]] 15:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
== Historical Release Announcements == |
|||
I'm just not sure about this section at all. No other Linux distribution's articles (from what I saw) feature such a "Historical Release Announcements" section. Basically this section is a copy of the release announcements found on distrowatch.com.[http://distrowatch.lafox.net/index.php?distribution=zenwalk&month=all&year=all] I believe it is very lengthy, and that it doesn't sound like encyclopedia-worthy content. Let's take [[Open BSD]] article as a guide. Personally, I would loose the above mentioned section completely. [[User:Antidrugue|Antidrugue]] 02:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
I had been debating deleting the section myself. I'm glad someone agrees. [[User:Sweetnsourbkr|Sweetnsourbkr]] 14:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:What about the "Zenwalk release history" table? Essentially it's a bunch of low-value date wikilinks, and clutters up the references with release announcement links that are easily available from zenwalk. Something better would be a brief outline of how it started as Minislack, when it switched to a 2.6 series kernel, etc. You know, like an encyclopedia article would be :) [[User:Ciotog|Ciotog]] 16:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::I believe on the contrary that the Release History table was particularly appropriate. Every major Linux distribution articles on Wikipedia has one. Therefor I am putting it back, thus reverting the 3 last edits done by [[User:Ciotog|Ciotog]]. [[User:Antidrugue|Antidrugue]] 16:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
== Zenwalk release history == |
|||
I removed the table and added a "History" section. The table was last available on [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zenwalk_Linux&oldid=115707943 this version] of the page. [[User:Ciotog|Ciotog]] 03:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
== Different text? == |
|||
I think that the first line's "was originally a Slackware-based Linux distribution founded by Jean-Philippe Guillemin." should be changed to "is a Slackware-based...". The current wording doesn't seem right, it's always been Slackware-based. It has changed much from Slackware, but the core is still quite close. Anyone else have any comments about it?

==Fair use rationale for Image:Zenwalk-logo.png== |
|||
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]] |
|||
'''[[:Image:Zenwalk-logo.png]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with [[WP:FU|fair use]]. |
|||
Please go to [[:Image:Zenwalk-logo.png|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. |
|||
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 --> |

== Requested move (2007) == |
|||
Zenwalk has various names including Zenwalk, Zenwalk Linux and Zenwalk GNU/Linux. Zenwalk is most generic and seems most common.--[[User:Chealer|Chealer]] 09:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:I don't think there's enough of a reason to move a stable title, as both Zenwalk already redirects here. [[User:Ciotog|Ciotog]] 22:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC) |

== Merge from [[Jean-Philippe Guillemin]] == |
|||
I think the article on [[Jean-Philippe Guillemin]] should be merged to this page. The article on Guillemin asserts that he is best known for Zenwalk Linux and does not do much to prove that he is known for anything else. --[[User:Jtalledo|Jtalledo]] [[User_talk:Jtalledo|(talk)]] 02:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC) |

== SaxenOS and Zee Xenwalk == |
|||
The SaxenOS page at url:http://saxenos.de/sx/index.php says "SaxenOS 2008 is ... based on PCLinuxOS" |
|||
and "former versions of SaxenOS [were] based on Slackware" OTOH, URL:http://www.google.com/search?q=SaxenOS+Zenwalk turns up multiple references to it being based on zenwalk or on slackware and zenwalk. |
|||
Zee Xenwalk was formerly known as Zeneee (See url:http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=155761 ). The best reference I could find was url:http://wiki.eeeuser.com/zeee -- and the old standby at url:http://wiki.eeeuser.com/overview.html has nothing but a name for Zeee Zenwalk. |

== Requested move == |
|||
{{movereq|Zenwalk}} |
|||
[[:Zenwalk Linux]] → [[Zenwalk]] — This was requested at RfD, but it was closed as the wrong venue. I'm therefore bringing this here. [[User:Jafeluv|Jafeluv]] ([[User talk:Jafeluv|talk]]) 07:14, 26 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
Here's the original proposer's rationale (copied from the RfD): |
|||
<blockquote>Zenwalk Linux should redirect to Zenwalk, not vice versa, since "Zenwalk" is the official name of the operating system. [[User:CoolingGibbon|CoolingGibbon]] ([[User talk:CoolingGibbon|talk]]) 15:30, 16 August 2009 (UTC)</blockquote> |
|||
Personally, I support the move. Not only is the proposed title the official name of the operating system, but it's also commonly called just Zenwalk. For example, the sources used in the article use "Zenwalk" almost exclusively, and while the current name ''is'' mentioned in [http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20080211#feature this one], it could be argued that "Linux" is not part of the name, but a descriptor like "operating system" in "Windows operating system".
