"I've read past reviews by other reviewers describing Vector Linux as "better Slackware than Slackware" or "what Slackware should be" and I always felt that was a bit of a stretch. With this release it isn't. You get all the reliability and stability of Slackware, better performance than vanilla Slack (at least on my hardware) and the features and most of the conveniences users of distributions touted as user friendly have come to expect."

Tried Vector a while back and had some problems, so I must try the latest version to see if I have the same good experience as this reviewer.
I haven't been a big Slack fan in the past, but Slax (another Slack derivative) really changed my mind on that. It's a Live-CD, fast and ultra-easy to use, and has excellent hardware detection. Network connection is also very easy, both via the command line and graphically. Definitely worth a try...
