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.  It's certainly not the specs, at least by today's standards - 
| an Asus Eee would knock it into a cocked Fedora.  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.

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.

| 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!
