Vector Linux is a lighweight distro
with hand picked, well integrated software. It is distributed
in several flavours for specific purposes. There are 3 main
flavours to choose:
- Vector Linux Standard. The foundation, ideally suited for an Internet
workstation.
- Vector Linux Deluxe. For sale. It has better support and more than
350 MB of additional software bundled on the CD.
- Vector Linux SOHO. Ready out of the box for office use, built around
KDE.
- Vector Linux LIVE. The standard version that can run directly from a CDROM.
Then there are also some contributed flavours.
These are unofficial and not guaranteed to be sustainable.
- Vector
Linux Dynamite. Danger, it contains highly explosive experimental
stuff ! (and we mean it).
Being a specific distro, Vector Linux
does not bother you with too much options, like the general
purpose, big, mostly bloated distros. Just pick a flavour, and
you will get a light, fast, and very stable system, yet surprisingly
fancy and user friendly. Newbies love the simplicity of auto
setup and the software range, while hackers find it as a clean
and powerfull base to play with. More people are simply hooked
because only Vector Linux can run reasonably well on their beloved
old computers and for the fact that it is an excellent distro
to really learn what goes on behind the scenes.
