Development Release: VectorLinux 6.0 RC4 |
| The fourth release candidate for VectorLinux 6.0 is now available for testing: "The VectorLinux team has released the fourth and, we hope, final release candidate of VectorLinux 6.0. There were more issues then we anticipated and some major upgrades to key programs that we feel requires another RC before we can feel comfortable with a final release. This release builds on the previous release candidate with a all new 2.6.27.12 kernel and the new ALSA sound release 1.0.19 that insures functionality for many of the new netbooks and fixes a ton of problems with the intel-hda sound module. The GUI installer has been further tweaked with more bug fixes that address some smaller problems. More hardware-related issues that were reported in the last release have been fixed. There have been security updates to critical packages such as OpenSSL and NTFS-3G. We have included 4 versions of NVIDIA drivers that should cover all generations of video chipsets." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: VL6.0-STD-RC4.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. |
