I noticed on the repo that the description of some files still refer to Zenwalk... Also in the under title, it says that 'our' distro is based on Slackware & Zenwalk. Although most folks here, so far, come from Zenwalk Land, does any substantial code actually come from Zenwalk? Just curious. :)

That means that we can very well imagine a...
