Zenwalk Linux 7.4 Beta 1 发布，基于Slackware的GNU/Linux操作系统

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。

After a hiatus lasting just over a year, Jean-Philippe Guillemin has announced a new development release of Zenwalk Linux - the first beta build of the upcoming version 7.4. Zenwalk Linux is a lightweight Slackware-based distribution featuring the Xfce desktop environment. From the release announcement (which includes a screenshot of the default Xfce desktop): " Zenwalk Linux 7.4 beta is ready for testing. In this release you will find: LibreOffice 4.1.1, GIMP 2.8.6, Xfce 4.12git, Thunderbird 24.1.0, Firefox 25.0.1, Linux kernel 3.10.20 with performance tweaks. Several applications from previous Zenwalk releases have been replaced: MPlayer is now the multimedia player (instead of Totem), LXDM is the display manager (instead of GDM), Xfburn is the CD/DVD burner (instead of Brasero), Geeqie is now the image viewer. Have fun and please report bugs." Here is the brief with a screenshot of the default Xfce desktop.
