Zenwalk developer Jean-Philippe Guillemin has informed users of the Slackware-based operating system that the final Release Candidate (RC) milestone of the upcoming Zenwalk 8.0 release is now available for public testing.

Zenwalk 8.0 Linux Release Candidate 2 promises to be the last one, as the developer informs the community and public testers that it should be at 99% the stable target. Featuring the latest long-term supported Linux 4.4.13 kernel, the RC2 build of Zenwalk 8.0 already includes all the newest software releases, including the LibreOffice 5.1.3 office suite, Chromium 51.0 web browser, MPlayer 1.3 video player, FFmpeg 3.0.1 multimedia backend, and Slackware Current's security updates.

The final release of the Zenwalk 8.0 Linux operating system is coming with a new desktop layout for Xfce 4.12, the lightweight and super-fast desktop environment that users can customize as they see fit. Additionally, it will include updated system tools to fully integrate the new PolicyKit privileges elevation features.
