Welcome to Zenville. No low-powered computers are spared ! Zenwalk will save them from cpu-philous & ram-philous LL linux.
Why is this 'zen' distro so attractive ? It is as light as an air ballon. Zenwalk's isos files are also light to download. Well,Zen- walk is also light on the number of accompanying apps, a result of its one application for one task philosophy.
Zenwalk 4.2 was so suitable for my old Dell pentiumIII desktops and workstations and semi-modern low-specs notebook. I was very skept- ical at first but after 1 month of using, i just love it. The other very popular distros, or mega distros have more affinity for power & ram. I am not a power user. I know i can opt for Vectorlinux 5.8 or even the Damn Small linux but after trying them, i still prefer the marriage of 'zen' computing and the virtue of Slackware. No kidding! I suppose you'll only know it, after you have walked the 'zen' path.
Unfortunately, enlightenment is not guaranteed . your low-powered or old pc for granted.
Zenwalk 4.4.1 was released on 24 feb 2006, 2 days after the release of version 4.4 which had acquired an xorg bug. Zenwalk 4.4.1 comes with Linux kernel 2.6.20. This new kernel introduced Zenwalk a new libata subsystem that will cause confusion in those users who have been used to the current device naming system of hdx and sdx. But I hope not !
The brief notice of the new naming system could be seen on the boot screen of Zenwalk 4.4.1. Pata/ide and sata drives would be assigned with sdx and any optical drive would be assigned with srx. Honestly, I haven't come across such a subsystem that require such unnecessary change. Maybe, it has been 'abstracted' in other distros.
For your information, this subsystem had existed since linux kernel 2.6.19. I hope, the great Mr.Linus Torvolds has some 'zen' reasons to implement such a change. I wouldn't be surprised if the existing Zenwalk users(especially those with pata coexisting with sata drive) decide to postpone this 'scary' kernel upgrade. There is a wiki to guide you, should you need an upgrade.
When creating a website for making sales, one should look to employ ecommerce hosting. This is very useful to handle the shopping cart and handle transactions. Also one should look out for colocation hosting as there are chances for securing it better. Look for a company which hires cisco professionals who have certifications in courses like 220-301. With the help of coldfusion this site can be easily developed. And once uploaded it is essential to maintain the site at regular intervals. For this install a wireless adapter to access the wireless internet from anywhere, as it provides a lot of convenience. The marketing should be carried out directly, as it is most effective. The use of business voip phone will prove to be the cheapest in this case.
