Linux "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."

Except that paying for Linux has become "unfashionable", I have another, more important reason not to use Vector: it has never managed to install LILO to my root partition. I don't want it installed to the MBR, I prefer to manage booting my installed OSes myself. (To be added that I have tried it on several computers, since the first release).
