thread_title:  Link and Text Removal 

message: I removed the following in the belief that it is advertising - it reads like a brochure for the product and is NPOV.
Zenwalk Linux is a complete system out of the box. Feature enabled after install are browsing, mail, chat, video and music playback, programming in C, Perl, Python, Ruby, word processing, printing, scanning, burning CD and DVD. Also a full set of development utilities and libraries are installed for programmers.  + Zenwalk Linux (formerly Minislack) is a Slackware Linux based Linux distribution that focuses on Internet application, multimedia and programming tools.  
-    
- == Zenwalk objectives ==   
-    
- * Be simple and fast   
- * Provide one application for one task   
- * Be a complete development/desktop environment   
- * Be small so that it can be distributed on a single CD   
-    
- == Zenwalk Versions ==   
-    
- Zenwalk (full version ~ 470MB iso download) is a complete system : out of the box, you will be able to browse, mail, chat, listen to music, program in C, Perl, Python, Ruby,.. watch videos in various formats, write documents, print, scan, burn CD and DVD, connect your camera and edit your photographs, without adding anything. Coders will like the full set of development libraries and interpreters.   
-    
- Zenwalk Core (~ 230MB iso download) is a Zenwalk system without X applications.

thread_title: Text removed

message: Hi there.  I noticed that the Zenwalk web site mentions the distribution as GNU/Linux, not Linux.  Perhaps we could rename the article and all subsequent errors?
: No, it does not. Near the top of the zenwalk.org web site it says: "Zenwalk Linux - Overview". Then the first sentence starts with: "Zenwalk is a GNU/Linux operating system, ...". Most people would conclude from this that the name is either "Zenwalk" or "Zenwalk Linux". 80.126.109.170 16:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Formal tone 

message: I'm just not sure about this section at all. No other Linux distribution's articles (from what I saw) feature such a "Historical Release Announcements" section. Basically this section is a copy of the release announcements found on distrowatch.com. I believe it is very lengthy, and that it doesn't sound like encyclopedia-worthy content. Let's take OpenBSD article as a guide. Personally, I would loose the above mentioned section completely. Antidrugue 02:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What about the "Zenwalk release history" table? Essentially it's a bunch of low-value date wikilinks, and clutters up the references with release announcement links that are easily available from zenwalk. Something better would be a brief outline of how it started as Minislack, when it switched to a 2.6 series kernel, etc. You know, like an encyclopedia article would be :) Ciotog 16:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe on the contrary that the Release History table was particularly appropriate. Every major Linux distribution articles on Wikipedia has one. Therefor I am putting it back, thus reverting the 3 last edits done by Ciotog. Antidrugue 16:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical Release Announcements 

message: I removed the table and added a "History" section. The table was last available on this version of the page. Ciotog 03:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Zenwalk release history 

message: I think that the first line's "was originally a Slackware-based Linux distribution founded by Jean-Philippe Guillemin." should be changed to "is a Slackware-based...". The current wording doesn't seem right, it's always been Slackware-based. It has changed much from Slackware, but the core is still quite close. Anyone else have any comments about it?

message: :Image:Zenwalk-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: Zenwalk has various names including Zenwalk, Zenwalk Linux and Zenwalk GNU/Linux. Zenwalk is most generic and seems most common.--Chealer 09:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Release history 

message: I think the article on Jean-Philippe Guillemin should be merged to this page. The article on Guillemin asserts that he is best known for Zenwalk Linux and does not do much to prove that he is known for anything else. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not for this merge. — Neustradamus (✉) 18:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed with the above. I removed some information on the history of Jean-Philippe Guillemin from this article, as this article is about Zenwalk and not Jean-Philippe Guillemin. If he meets notability requirements than he should have his own page, and if not it does not mean his biography goes here. Stupendoussteve (talk) 02:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge from [[Jean-Philippe Guillemin]] 

message: The SaxenOS page at url:http://saxenos.de/sx/index.php says "SaxenOS 2008 is ... based on PCLinuxOS"
and "former versions of SaxenOS [were] based on Slackware" OTOH, URL:http://www.google.com/search?q=SaxenOS+Zenwalk turns up multiple references to it being based on zenwalk or on slackware and zenwalk.  
Zee Xenwalk  was formerly known as Zeneee (See url:http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=155761 ).  The best reference I could find was url:http://wiki.eeeuser.com/zeee -- and the old standby at url:http://wiki.eeeuser.com/overview.html has nothing but a name for Zeee Zenwalk.
