While still in the zenpanel which made its debut in Zenwalk 4.2, i launched netpkg tool to see how many official repositories were available for Zen- walk 4.4.1. Fiy, Zenwalk and Slackware use tgz package format. With Zen- walk, you're not 'stuck' with xfce4.4, as kde and gnome are also available on the repository. You can also get fluxbox easily if this modified xfce 4.4 is still clunky and slow to you from the repositories. By the way, about 99% of the packages for Slackware can also be installed into Zenwalk. Although you can use gslapt or slapt-get to install packages from the repositories, the rec- ommended one is still the netpkg or xnetpkg tools. Gslapt or slapt-get lack dependencies checking.
Below is the Zenwalk 4.4.1 official repositories. There are more reposito- ries nowadays as compared with the number that existed when Zenwalk 4.2 made it to the world. The number of packages you can install from the repositories are definitely not as much as the ones for debian/ubuntu but i think it's enough for simple and modern computing.
Below is the Zenwalk 4.2 official repositories.
