NEW • Distribution Release: VectorLinux 5.9.1 "SOHO" |
| Robert Lange has announced the release of VectorLinux 5.9.1 "SOHO" edition, now also available as a free download: "The 5.9.1 release is a maintenance and bug-fix release for the previous SOHO 5.9 and includes 52 updates to the core system. You will also find Firefox 3.0.1, Opera 9.52, Pidgin 2.5.1, SANE 1.0.19 and a host of others. The kernel has been upgraded to 2.6.25.7 for better driver support in both sound and WiFi. After long consideration we determined that this was just too darned good and we wanted everyone to see just how good this is. We are confident that after trying the free edition you will want to come back and purchase the DELUXE edition. The default desktop is KDE 3.5.9. More than just amazing eye candy, KDE's extensive collection of graphical tools makes it easy to use for non-technical users." Read the release notes and visit the DELUXE product page for further details. Download: VL5.9.1-SOHO.iso (643MB, 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. |
