Is Getty Images a scam? It seems so from most posts on the net and if you have problems with them read these:

Whether Getty is a scam or not remains a question to all. Their claims don’t have legal basis and I don’t think they have ever successfully sued anyone.
If you try a default install of Eclipse in Zenwalk you will probably get an error about Eclipse not being able to find java’s path:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/usr/lib/eclipse-3.4.1/jre/bin/java
java in your current PATH
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machinewas found after searching the following locations:/usr/lib/eclipse-3.4.1/jre/bin/javajava in your current PATH
Of course, you will have to install JRE (or JDE) first. For this purpose simply use netpkg to install ‘jre’. However, this will not help and you will have to add the following symlink:
# ln -s /usr/lib/java/ /usr/lib/eclipse-3.4.1/jre
After that Eclipse will be working perfectly fine on your Zenwalk 
If you have tried to run (install) Imagemagick on ZenWalk 6.2 (possibly on other distros too) you might have run into problems with libfftw3.so.3 such as:
$ convert
convert: error while loading shared libraries: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
In order to fix this error simply install fftw (with netpkg presumably):
Successfully installed:
fftw-3.2.2-i686-62.1.txz
After that convert (one of Imagemagick binaries) will work perfectly fine:
$ convert –version

The latest Ubuntu is a disappointment… 9.10 Karmic Koala or whatever it is really sucks… I have upgraded it while still a RC and for the last week and something I realized it is good for nothing. Constant crashes, wireless problems and so on… reminds me of Windows times… So long, suckers! Back to my old love Zenwalk!
So after spending a few hours my Zenwalk rocks and everything works perfectly fine. I have had to install manually only the kernel module for the wireless (Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g). I’ve got the proprietary driver which gives me no problems. Wpa2, openvpn and everything else works perfect.
Even though the browser says Iceweasel 3.5.2, it is the new Firefox 3.5. Audacious also works quite smooth with just a few crashes. Right now Helloween plays Secret alibi I’ve even installed Chromium, thinking it is Google Chrome… It turned out to be a pretty cool game so I can’t say I am disappointed
Chromium, Audacious, Iceweasel and stuff
The load keeps pretty low and everything is very fast:
root[terry]# uptime
21:04:25 up 35 min, 2 users, load average: 0.30, 0.29, 0.25
So if you have problems with the latest Ubuntu 9.10, just switch to Zenwalk. It is Slackware based with all the commercial software support and really lightweight.
Followup: The next day I installed Google Chrome for just a few minutes following these instructions on Installing Google Chrome on Slackware.
What is a gadget? The first definition that appears is ‘a device or control that is very useful for a particular job‘. A more common understanding of a gadget is a pretty graphic staying on your desktop and displaying system information, weather or anything else…
Gadgets are available not only for graphical desktop environments. There are gadgets for web applications such as WordPress for example.
Still in this article I’ll make a review of Google gadgets running on Linux. I have bought a new Lenovo last month and since then I have left my old LXDE in favour of the good old Gnome. Of course, this change has had to come with lots more graphical extras
So my next move was to install some gadgets and I can’t even remember how I stumbled upon Google gadgets. The very first thing I liked is the big analogue clock. The most useful gadget is the one for checking Gmail. Here is how my Desktop looks like now:
