Releases : Zenwalk Core 6.2 is ready
Posted by hyperion on 2009/11/8 20:50:00 (6703 reads)

Zenwalk Core 6.2 is ready !

Like the plain 6.2, Zenwalk Core 6.2 is mostly new code (nearly all packages have been updated), and the base system has been slightly modified (EXT4, kernel 2.6.30.5). The switch to LZMA for package compression has reduced the overall size of the ISO image (170MB).

Here's a summary of the important changes :

- Kernel 2.6.30.5
- LZMA compression for packages
- EXT4 as main filesystem
- Faster boot (tuned init scripts)
- bus auto-detection in the installer (will choose appropriate kernel depending on the architecture, sata, pata, scsi)
- latest dev tools ...

In brief all you need to create a personalized build platform, your favorite desktop environment or a clean and secured server machine.

Install takes no more than 10 minutes on a modern box : so don't hesitate to try it out now !

Have fun !
Emmanuel
