Vector Linux is a rapid and efficient PC-style operating system, designed specifically for Intel-based computers, characterized by its compact size and powerful performance.
Vector Linux is a Linux-based operating system that runs on Intel-based computers. It's a small and fast OS that aims to keep things simple for the end user. What started as a simple concept has now evolved into one of the best Linux operating systems available.
Vector Linux caters to both casual and power users. For casual users, the desktop is lightning-fast, and there are graphical programs to handle everyday activities like web surfing, sending and receiving emails, and chatting on ICQ or IRC. Power users will appreciate the full range of tools available for compiling their own programs, using the system as a server, or even as a gateway for their home or office computer network.
Administrators will also find Vector Linux a pleasing operating system because of its small size and memory requirements. It can be deployed on older machines that might have been long forgotten.
A live CD version of VectorLinux 5.1 standard is also available for the user who wants to test the operating system before making a full switch. It comes with Kernel 2.6.15.3 udev-085 ndiswrapper 1.9 and all other standard features like icewm, fluxbox, and xfce4. The user is encouraged to download and test VectorLinux and report any bugs found.
VectorLinux is the result of a collaborative effort, and many have contributed to its success; developers, testers, The VectorLinux community, and the developers of linux-live scripts from www.linux-live.org.
