Had a look at the Zenwalk first thing this morning and found that version 4.0 had just been released, so I downloaded it. I'm posting from it now and very pretty it looks too. Boots up quickly as well.
Only two minor issues with the installer. It was probably my mistake, but I managed to get 'Driver "vga" ' instead of 'Driver "i810" ' in xorg.conf and the xserver crashed. Quickly fixed though. I'll try installing it on my Intel graphics laptop later this week to see what, if anything, I did wrong. And I declined the offer of LILO. It doesn't have GRUB as an option, but I managed to get it booting from GRUB from another partition of this multiboot with the help of this page from their wiki.
I have next to no experience of the Xfce desktop, so I have a question. When using Gnome all I have to do to connect to my NAS fileserver is to select Places > Connect to Server, choose either ftp or Windows share, put in the server name or IP address, and an icon is placed on the desktop which I can click to get a Nautilus window. I can't find a similar thing in Xfce. I can access the fileserver with gFTP or from a browser but I can't open files directly into an application which is what I can do with a fileserver nautilus window in Gnome.
Is there an answer to this?
