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.

• An ISO-file from /iso, /iso-soho, or /iso-dynamite directory. Of course, you are free to download more than one flavours.
• To install the ISO-file you may need some tools from the /install directory. Please find out the installation guide on the documentation section.
• The /packages directory contains additional software. You can download and installl them easily by using VLAPT (Vector Linux APT).
