Vector Linux 5.9-Pseudo64-0.1 -- Finally, 64-bit Vector

,----[ Quote ]
| 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 
| being taken seriously as a major distribution.

Slackware: old warhorse is going strong

| The last time I looked at Slackware was nearly seven years ago; version 7.1 
| was thrown my way by a magazine and I was asked for a review. My usage of the 
| distribution had ended early in 2000 when I moved to Debian after using 
| Slackware 4.0 and then 7.0 for about a year.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| I guess Slackware will have its band of loyal users; it has some good points 
| and a certain kind of people like their Linux the way Volkerding has designed 
| the distribution. Had the upgrade process been less cumbersome, who knows, I 
| might still be using it.

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

| 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.
