Linux "VectorLinux SOHO 5.1.1 Deluxe is a superb Linux distribution in my book. While I don't think it's geared toward the masses in a way that SUSE Linux, Mandriva, or Linspire might be, I do feel it has something to offer Linux users everywhere. It's easy enough to install for someone who at least has a basic understanding of Linux, has a robust compliment of applications, performs very well, and is as stable as it's parent distribution, Slackware, from what I've seen during the review."

If you don't want to "tinker" with a distro, avoid the "latest and greatest" and stay with the Debian, Suse,and Ubuntu. The sheer number of distros are viewed as a "bad thing" by some, but the innovation that comes from this is what is giving the world such a great and versatile "hobby OS". Stay with your beloved Windows if you're happy there. From your previous comments,you have had better sucess with it than I have. The fact that MS is advertising "MS versus Linux" everywhere is a testament to the amazing work of the programmers in free software. In a perverted way MS is the best friend that GNU/Linux has had. Their FUD campaign has raised awareness of Linux. The news about companies preparing for the next "malware threat" is making people look at alternetive OS'es. Sorry to get off subject, but your negative comments are a bit much. However; you sure make GNU/Linux look good! The more detractors; the more people will look at Linux just to see what you and others are talking about; KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

You said: "The fact that MS is advertising "MS versus Linux" everywhere is a testament to the amazing work of the programmers in free software"

No, it is biased websites just like this one and slashdot that have a finacial interest in not only the OS wars (which MS won 10 years ago) and the flame wars that result.

Just doin' my part...just like you...
