So far my experience with Zenwalk 2.2: Almost everything I need works.

What didn't work oob.
No sleep.
Ra2500
Screen resolution boots to 1280x1024
SD/MMC slot doen't work. Fn+ keys don't work (with the exception of scrlk prt scr and sysrq....and the numpad)
Battery Monitor
System hangs/freezes on restart...forcing me to hold power for 5 secs. :/
fan (Explanation below.)

My experience so far has been pretty good.
So pretty much everything works except for these items that I had to fix, or don't work (yet... =P)
-Edited the xconf to boot to 1280x768
-Compiled and installed Ra2500.
  Native Ra2500 drivers work beautifully.
-Modprobing the battery turns on monitoring etc...
  However the XFCE battery monitor nor sound control works. When I first recompiled my sound drivers (it wan't playing anything) everything worked again AND the XFCE sound plugin worked and allowed me to mess with the volume. After a reboot, it stopped working...I am leaving it alone and using alsamixer. (for now)
-Lastly, the system fan is aways on. I can't figure out how to change it to work dynamically like windows.
