Linux ZenWalk 5.2


Recently, I've been improving my Linux knowledge and skills with Linux ZenWalk 5.2
The main reason why I like ZenWalk is use use of the XFCE Desktop Environment. XFCE is a faster and lighter version of your typical KDE and Gnome Desktop Environment. It really is a good choice for lower end systems. At this time I am currently using a 400MHz Celeron PC with ZenWalk, and is running well. I beleive it is a good choice for Linux newbies. There are a lot of unused and obsolete systems out there, so this Linux distrabution may be a good choice to bring some of those back to life.

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Looks like Microsoft did sneak a new on demand anti-malware scanner past us. Most would have been unaware of the new application if not for keeping up with various IT newletters, blogs and web sites, such as I do on a daily basis. This small application is downloaded as an .exe file and instead of being installed onto your Windows enironment, it is just ran directly from the .exe file to start the scanning process. One of the downsides to the program is that you have to re-download the file again, after ten days, to include the latest definitions for the program. If your willing to live with the small inconvienence, it looks like a good additional on-demand malware scanner, in additional to you main persistant anti-malware program. Just don't depend on this one alone as your main anti-malware program for your Windows OS environment. Microsoft Safety Scanner download
