Zenwalk review part 2 - the conclusion

Well I gave Zenwalk a bit more than a month.
After using it exclusively for this period I can't say I'm going stick with it. At least not for now. Don't get me wrong it's a great little distro. The problem stems (for me anyway) from installing programs. While there is a ton of stuff in the default repos and the programs install and run well for the most part, the default configuration for them is not what I'd like it to be.
If I'd have the time to set up each and every program for about 10-20 minutes I'd be using Gentoo.

So I guess it's back to Ubuntu for now (mainly due to a well deserved memmory upgrade for all my machines)
