VectorLinux SOHO Deluxe For Linux

VectorLinux SOHO Deluxe is the first and only commercial version of the Slackware-based VectorLinux SOHO operating system. It promises a ready-to-use desktop-oriented environment built around KDE Plasma and Xfce. The SOHO flavor of VectorLinux is designed for small offices or home office computers.

The Deluxe edition of VectorLinux SOHO can be purchased only from the official website of the project as a digital download or boxed CD set. While the digital download is cheaper, you will have to download two CD-size ISO images or approximately 700 MB in size each.

Along with the purchase of a VectorLinux 6.0 SOHO Deluxe edition you also get 14 days of installation and configuration support. Please note that while the second CD includes extra software packages, the first CD will be used to install the operating system on your computer.

A graphical installer script is included in the installation media, which is newbie friendly and requires you to choose a language and keyboard layout, partition the disk, select and install software, choose an installation method, install a bootloader, set up regional settings, add users and passwords, configure network settings and startup options.

Thanks to the built-in desktop environments, KDE4 and Xfce, the distribution can be easily deployed on modern computers or machines with old and semi-old hardware components.

The software highlights of VectorLinux SOHO Deluxe include the GNUCash personal and small-business financial-accounting software, as well as the best personal finance manager application for the KDE desktop environment, KMyMoney. The second disc contains a plethora of open source applications that are usually available only on VectorLinux’s software repositories.
