VectorLinux 5.9 - Will It Be Pandemic?

,----[ Quote ]
| With seven stable releases  of VectorLinux Standard Gold edition  under their 
| belts, the developers  of VectorLinux  have released the  much-awaited 
| VectorLinux 5.9 Standard Gold edition on the 21st of December 2007 to the joy 
| of many Vectorians.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| 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  VectorLinux 5.8. The softwares 
| seem snappier and more stable than the ones in version 5.8 too!

Looks nice and very light.

PCLinuxOS Day 1 - Installation

,----[ Quote ]
| Time to get started with some real work again. In the first stage of writing 
| this series I will install PCLinuxOS (and some remasters) in virtual 
| machines. This is just to make it easier for me to carry PCLinuxOS around and 
| use the tools and software that it provides. Of course I will also install it 
| on regular hardware during the month. I use VirtualBox as virtual 
| environment. In the previous series I used VMware server, but I have found 
| the performance of VirtualBox somewhat better.

| There’s a 64-bit version. There has never been a 64-bit version of Vector 
| Linux before. To me this is one more essential step towards Vector Linux

VectorLinux - The Pefect Installation and Setup

,----[ Quote ]
| The  VectorLinux Website is promising: “Speed, performance, stability -- 
| these are attributes that set VectorLinux apart in the crowded field of Linux 
| distributions. VectorLinux is a lighterweight, fast, Linux operating system 
| for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems and is based upon Slackware, one of the 
| original Linux distributions…”    
| Linux-Tip was testing the installation and usage of version 5.8 (Standard 
| Gold).

Review: Vector Linux 5.8 Standard Edition 

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I'd rate Vector Linux as a very high quality distribution that easily 
| gains a spot on my short list of highly recommended distributions for new and 
| experienced users.  I give the developers huge props for creating a 
| distribution that takes one of the most powerful and complex distributions in 
| the world (Slackware) and turns it into a new users dream desktop.  This is 
| even a distro I would feel comfortable giving to my own mom, and that's 
| saying a lot.

| I've always admired VectorLinux for offering what I consider a 
| better Slackware than Slackware. It's beautiful and functional,

| Conclusion
| 
| Once you have Vector Linux installed, configured, and customized
| to your needs it?s an absolute pleasure to run. It?s fast and sleek
| and well thought out. Some features, such as those for managing
| WiFi connections and removable hardware, are absolutely second
| to none...

First look at VectorLinux 5.8 SOHO

,----[ Quote ]
| VectorLinux is a distro that I tested only a couple of times before,
| but I was very impressed with the system. Then, as now, it was a
| pretty, complete, and stable alternative to heavier or more
| complicated offerings. It dresses up Slackware and adds needed
| functionality, yet remains true to the Slackware tradition.
