Finally after 4 months of hard work and bugs fixing, the Zenwalk team announce the final version Zenwalk linux 5.2. Zenwalk linux 5.2 brings many revamped package manager, MPlayer, which has improved support for DVD menus, Brasero as the default CD/DVD burning utility and also the latest version of GIMP Editor.

Moreover, Zenwalk 5.2 comes packed with some new artwork, it is now powered by Linux kernel 2.6.25.4 and Xfce 4.4.2 and has resurrected the resume/suspend operations. Also, an ever-increasing web-based software repository is now available for all Zenwalk users: "Many faithful users asked us to provide an online source repository rather than sending source Dvds on-demand. So we have been working on a mechanism to allow the development team to instantly publish source tarballs for any new package we release. This source repository is now 100% ready for ISO packages, and the contributed packages (aka "extra") source repository is being populated actively."

Being powered by the popular Slackware Linux distribution, Zenwalk Linux 5.2 comes with useful applications for daily usage. Among these, we can notice:
