Development Release: VectorLinux 5.1 RC2 (SOHO) |
| The second -- and probably the last -- release candidate of the SOHO edition of VectorLinux Linux 5.1 has been released: "SOHO-rc2 is available and ready for testing before we go final. Lots of little fixes to tune up our default firewall with Samba, CUPS and hplip. The x-11 base system was updated to patch 4. Larry Gagnon's menu fixes are in. Joe1962's new vl-hot is in for USB mountable devices. The bootsplash was updated so the animation goes away correctly (still needs a little tweaking). There are some artwork updates to be done but overall looks good. XFce should be able to do its themes now and the default look of XFce was modified. So brave ones download, install and report back the results of your findings." The release announcement. Download: VLSOHO-5.1-rc2.iso (688MB, 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. |
