Powered by Linux kernel 2.6.33.4 and XFCE 4.6.2
Jean-Philippe Guillemin proudly announced last evening, May 27th, the immediate availability of the Zenwalk Linux 6.4 operating system. The new release is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.33.4, with the BFS scheduler, and the new XFCE 4.6.2 desktop environment. Cutting-edge packages and overall performance improvements are also present in this new release of the lightweight Zenwalk Linux distribution.
"Zenwalk 6.4 provides many enhancements at system and application levels, while confirming the maturity and features stability of Zenwalk. The brand new 2.6.33.4 kernel is featuring the new BFS scheduler, designed for the best desktop interactivity on multi-core CPUs while taking the most of lower spec machines. You'll notice better responsiveness of graphical applications, better realtime performance of sound applications (very low latency),
and efficiency of niced commands (compilation tasks can really be niced in a way they don't disturb other applications). Like its predecessor, Zenwalk 6.4 features EXT4 as main filesystem, and latest versions of most applications and desktop environments." Jean-Philippe Guillemin said in the official release announcement. (http://www.zenwalk.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=107)

· Linux kernel 2.6.33.4;
· X.Org 7.5;
· XFCE 4.6.2 desktop environment;

· Openoffice.org office suite 3.2.0 (optimized for speed);
· Improved internationalization;
· Updated GStreamer to version 0.10.28;
· Updated almost all the included packages;
· Fixed many issues from previous releases!
Zenwalk Linux 6.4 is a Slackware-based operating system that can be used as a professional multimedia studio, an office workstation, a gaming box or a development platform. It includes bleeding-edge applications, can be installed in a few minutes, and it's completely customizable.
