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.

After going through a few (colourful) text screens, I got to the bit where it goes to verify the distro and it printed "SEARCHING....". 30 seconds later, it gave up and claimed it couldn't find the distro !"
I had a similar problem when I installed VL3.2 SOHO. When I tried to install again, I chose not to verify (confident - perhaps foolishly - that the ISO was fine), and the installation went smoothly.
I later mucked up my system to the extent that a reinstall was necessary, so I took the opportunity to switch to Libranet 2.7. However, VL 3.2 SOHO was the fastest distribution I had ever loaded on my aging laptop (Celeron 400), and when VL 4.0 SOHO comes out, I suspect I will be switching back.
