"VectorLinux has been one of my favorite projects since my first test of the distribution almost 18 months ago. I like VectorLinux because its roots are firmly planted in the stability and simplicity of Slackware, yet it comes with an extensive software base and lots of out-of-the-box great looks; in other words, a rock solid foundation with eye candy and useful functionality. While standard VectorLinux comes with the Xfce desktop environment and a variety of general-purpose applications, VectorLinux 5.8 SOHO offers the KDE desktop and a host of applications for small and home office users."

"One last thought: whenever a derivative appears, it always seems to do less and provide less than the parent distro."
Personally I don't believe that is always the case.
Take Debian, for instance: till Woody, it was difficult to install and had virtually no tools. Libranet, a derivative, made installing and mantaining Debian a breeze, while retaining 100% compatibility.
Then Kanotix came, another Debian derivative: very easy to install, great hardware detection, very useful scripts.
To tell the entire truth, since the release of Etch, Debian doesn't need derivatives any longer.
