Zenwalk Linux（以前叫做Minislack）是一份基于Slackware的GNU/Linux操作系统，其宗旨在于以每项任务只设置一个应用程序来保持精简和快捷，它还着重于图形桌面及多媒体使用。Zenwalk的特色在于包含最新的Linux技术以及一整套编程环境和运行库，它能为应用程序开发人员提供一份理想的平台。Zenwalk的模块化实现方法还提供了能将Zenwalk Linux转化为具有高度调节性的现代化服务器（如LAMP架构、通讯、文件共享）的简便方法。
Jean-Philippe Guillemin has announced the first beta release of Zenwalk Linux 5.2: "The long awaited Zenwalk 5.2 is out in beta. It has been four months since the last release and it's time to brush off the packages. What's new? The package manager, netpkg 'new generation' v4, has been completely rewritten in Perl-GTK and several new features have been added, making this already great application even greater. MPlayer is provided with the latest dvdnav (DVD menus support). Powerthend adds CPU scaling daemon and control script. The suspend and resume system has been improved. What's updated? As usual for each release, the desktop has been refreshed with new artwork. Almost all packages have been updated or rebuilt, including the Linux kernel 2.6.25.4 and Xfce 4.4.2. The update also takes care of a number of security fixes." Here is the full release announcement. Download: zenwalk-5.2BETA.iso (507MB, MD5).
