Development Release: Vector Linux 4.3 Beta 2 |
 |
A new version of Vector Linux is under development: "Well here we go. I have beta2 of Vector-4.3 up at the FTP site. For now download burn and install and lets have some active feedback. I would really like the whole dev community to rally behind 4.3 and lets get it out to the general population as soon as we can. Big diffs between 4.0 and 4.3 include 2.6.7 kernel, rox-panel instead of dfm for icons, alsa-sound, based on slack-9.1 so newer compiler and glibc, xfce-4.x and fluxbox-0.9.9. I'm not going to spend a lot of time introducing it just try it I think you will enjoy it then we can iron out the kinks and features so we have a polished product." The rest of this informal announcement can be found on the distribution's user forums. Download from here: VL4.3-beta2.iso (266MB).

| 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. |
