I have been using Zenwalk Linux for the past 2 years and I don't regret. It is not perfect, well, almost perfect for me but it gives me a very simple and fast operating system. I have a Dell Inspiron 600m with a Pentium-M processor and this baby fly super fast. I have tried Fedora 10, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Mint, openSOLARIS and I would put Fedora 10 as my second choice. I like your blog a lot! I never thought about using Zenwalk + GIMP to manage your pictures. I have an Apple G5 which my uses for the pictures. I use Zenwalk mainly to experiment with statistics and Python. Good job.... -2501 2501’s last blog post..15 Real-Apps of Genetic Algotithms

Zenwalk was a distro I loved, frolicking in the fields and giving it little shoulder massages on lazy afternoons, until v.4.41 where she kicked me right in the hard drive nomenclature and refused to answer calls. Now with the siren song of v5’s new shiny HAL I am drawn once more and have left Debian’s bags and apt-get on the front lawn. A folly of mine? Love unrequited? We shall see. We shall see…

Juniper,
Do you mean how did I get the screenshot? For the one in the post I used the screenshot capability of the GIMP under File –> Aquire –> Screenshot. You could also netpkg zenshot which is a nifty little screenshot application.

Strange … I installed gphoto2 with netpkg and it seems to be fine – at least from the command line. Although I didn’t grab the graphical front end.

Really cool. I tried installing gphoto2 and derivatives with no luck. And the digiKAM came just it time
