Linux Vector Linux is a distribution based on the oldest Linux distribution available today - Slackware. It comes in two flavours - a freely downloadable ISO 'lite' version (which I used for this review) and a Deluxe CD edition which can be ordered from www.vectorlinux.com. The deluxe edition includes extras such as Gnome and KDE, as well as a whole pile of extra software.

RE: about the speed
by Eugenia on Mon 3rd Nov 2003 05:30 UTC

I have both Fedora and Slackware installed on the same 1.4 Ghz machine. Slackware feels much faster than RHL (and VL is slackware-based) in almost everything. Boots way faster, shuts down faster, apps loading faster (especially the kde ones)... I still like Fedora as it has other advantages (e.g. pref panels for almost everything, more available binaries), however my main linux (when I feel like using linux) continues to be Slackware, as of 2 months ago.
