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.

Does anyone know what it means for Slackware 9.1 to be Linux 2.6 compatible? I downloaded and compiled a test kernel from a 9.0 distribution and booted fine (as far as I can tell).
Slightly back on topic, I think what makes slackware really nice is the way it's nicely stripped down on install, but is easy to add functionality. Development-wise, however, I won't be giving up RedHat anytime soon. HW vendors use those distribution releases as a standard to support development of their drivers.
