I tried ZenWalk last night... It is fast, but it didn't look pretty to me.
When I first started using Linux a few years ago, it was Mandrake 10. As I remember it was really buggy and it failed recognizing a few things including sound. It would load the driver but I didn't have any sounds. I tried another one - same scenario.Then I was told on their forum to get a separate and most importantly, oldest soundcard and snap it in...
So, this Zenwalk looks a lot like Mandrake to me.
I still have this PC, Mint and Ubuntu run like a champ on it and everything works.
Personally, I prefer Ubuntu over Mint, but switched to Mint when they came out with this stupid launcher on the side. I guess you can get used to it, but I just never bothered...
I hope they will get rid of it soon or provide a way to turn desktop to something more useful.
