Star Vector Linux SOHO 5.9 Deluxe -- Not Just For The Office

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."

As I reported in my review of 5.8 SOHO last year other KDE-based distros range from sluggish to impossibly slow on this old machine. I had always assumed this is because KDE consumes more memory than GNOME or Xfce and because it always needs the dcopserver running in the background.


*sigh*
