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.

The Vector Linux development team should strive to make this distro as bug-free as possible. I've understood that Vector is targeted to non-expert users, since more experienced users are likely to go for Slackware. Absolute beginners will abandon Vector as soon as something refuses to work as expected - they are not likely to be as resourceful as the reviewer when encountering similar problems.
I like light-weight distros, but at the moment I rather use Morphix Light-GUI because it offers easy software installation via apt-get/Synaptic. However, if I needed to install Linux to a PC with slow dial-up connection, I might opt for Vector Linux. Keep up the good work and make Vector a distro that even clueless beginners like me can enjoy!
