Vector Linux is a fast, small, Intel based Linux operating system for PC style computers. The creators of Vector Linux had a single credo: keep it simple, keep it small and let the end user decide what their operating system is going to be. What has evolved from this concept is perhaps the best little Linux operating system available anywhere.
For the casual computer user you have a lightening fast desktop with graphical programs to handle your daily activities from web surfing, sending and receiving email, chatting on ICQ or IRC to running an ftp server. The power user will be pleased because all the tools are there to compile their own programs, use the system as a server or perhaps the gateway for their home or office computer network.
Administrators will be equally as pleased because the small size and memory requirements of the operating system can be deployed on older machines maybe long forgotten.
Well here it is. we couldn't let the soho people have all the fun could we? This live-cd represents as close as possible VectorLinux 5.1 standard. It comes with kernel 2.6.15.3 udev-085 ndiswrapper 1.9, and everything else from standard, like icewm, fluxbox, and xfce4.
