Zenwalk 6.2 is an up to date and improved version of Zenwalk 6.0, as we think that the 6th serie has reached the maturity level in terms of features.

However, 6.2 is mostly new code (most packages have been updated), and the base system has been modified (EXT4, GRUB2, kernel 2.6.30.2).

You will notice that our installer is getting simpler with each new version : our goal is to create the easiest GNU/Linux installer : a first 20 minutes step, that you launch,... and forget.

With this version, the user has no hardware choice to perform : everything is automatically detected ( the only exception being the keyboard layout : azerty, qwerty, ...).

Here's a summary of the important changes :

- Kernel 2.6.30.2
- EXT4 as main filesystem
- The new XFCE 4.6.1
- Openoffice 3.1.0 (fast optimized version)
- GRUB2 boot loader with automatic configuration (will detect all your partitions, including alien OS)
- New Netpkg featuring a refined interface, rollback support and instant install with dependencies control
- Faster boot (tuned init scripts)
- bus auto-detection in the installer (will choose appropriate kernel depending on the architecture, sata, pata, scsi)

Please test this beta version, we need you to find the remaining bugs before we can reach the final quality level.

Have fun !
