NEW • Development Release: VectorLinux 5.9 RC3 |
| Robert Lange has announced the availability of the third release candidate of VectorLinux 5.9, a light-weight, Slackware-based distribution for the desktop: "We are proud to release the RC3 of VectorLinux 5.9 Standard. We are almost ready for final. We have updated Firefox, SeaMonkey and the Xfce to their latest. There is new artwork and several new tools to further streamline the user experience. The new tools include an all new control panel and a very easy-to-use WiFi configuration utility. Several bugs have been squashed including the Terminal crash and the shutdown problem. We also included TuxOnIce to help with laptop stand-by and hibernation problems. We decided with the upgrade to Xfce that we better do a RC3 instead of going straight to final, just in case." Here is the full release announcement. Download: VL5.9-STD-RC3.iso (676MB, MD5). |

| About Vector |
| Vector Linux is a small, fast, 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. |
