Vector Linux 5.9: Light, fast Slackware-based distro
,----[ Quote ]
| I like Vector Linux a lot, mainly for its speed and its ease of set-up and
| use. (It's also been interesting for this die-hard KDE fan to get to know
| Xfce.) Congratulations to the VL team for a job well done.

How Vector Linux 5.9 breathed new life into a tired old laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| It was the first laptop I ever bought and cost me as much as a small,
| secondhand car but there's always been something special about my old Dell
| 8000 Inspiron. Â*It's certainly not the specs, at least by today's standards -
| an Asus Eee would knock it into a ****ed Fedora. Â*It runs on a 900Mhz mobile
| Pentium IIIl processor, has 512MB of RAM, an Nvidia mobile 2GO videocard, a
| 10GB hard disk and a CDROM drive and, er, that's about it. No ethernet, no
| Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth. Â* Â* Â*

Vector Linux 5.8 SOHO or lightspeed Kde
,----[ Quot ]
| This is our first encounter with VectorLinux and before we tried it the idea
| of reviewing Kde distributions was associated to powerful machines but, after
| analyzing the requirements for this distribution, we decided to try it with
| the minimum and we must say that we are surprised to see that Kde is able to
| travel at lightspeed. Â* Â*

| Overall, VectorLinux 5.9 Standard Gold is a very functional release. It looks
| a lot better than the previous version. I did not encounter any major
| glitches during the testing. It was a delightful experience seeing the faster
| boot time of VectorLinux 5.9, as compared to Â*VectorLinux 5.8. The softwares
| seem snappier and more stable than the ones in version 5.8 too! Â* Â*

VectorLinux SOHO: A better Slackware than Slackware
,----[ Quote ]
| I've always admired VectorLinux for offering what I consider a
| better Slackware than Slackware. It's beautiful and functional,
| and would work well for me in my home office. On the desktop it
| is an excellent distribution with no real problems.
