Development Release: VectorLinux 6.0 RC1 |
| Robert Lange has announced the availability of the first release candidate for VectorLinux 6.0: "The VectorLinux development team is proud to announce the first release candidate of VectorLinux 6.0. This release is the result of the excellent bug reporting feedback from members of our community. We have tried to squash most of the bugs reported and add some additional polish to the default theme and the GUI installer. The installer has gone through many rewrites, we think you will find many improvements both in design and execution. We have updated several software packages and have added the all-new slapt-get notifier which automatically notifies the user via a tray icon that software updates are available. The browser plugins have been updated to the latest Flash 10 and MPlayer Plugin. Firefox, Opera, Seamonkey, gFTP, Pidgin and our own Vl-hot have all been updated." Read the rest of the release announcement for more details. Download: VL6.0-STD-RC1.iso (699MB, 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. |
