Hello Zenwalkers; long-time no-see :)

I took the Distro Selector test at http://desktoplinuxathome.com/ and it said "Maybe" for Zenwalk under "Runs well on older computers" but "Yes" for Vector, Slack, Gentoo, and Debian. Does that make any sense at all? I know Vector advertises itself as small and fast, but is it really much better than ZW, and aren't those other distros bigger and slower?

It really depends on what you mean by "runs well" and "older computers"
I have Zenwalk Openbox running on a 150MHz 486 with 128MB RAM.
Now, full-screen flash video is out, but anything that would have been considered "normal" when the computer was made goes fine.

I think "older computers" means P3 or older on that website.
As for "runs well", I'm wondering why ZW got a lower score than those other distros.
