The VectorLinux team is proud to announce the
release of VectorLinux 5.8 Live CD and the first SOHO 5.8 alpha live CD
and DVD. This is the final release for 5.8 standard GOLD live. The hard
drive installer that has been problematic is fixed and should work
well. The SOHO 5.8 alpha live comes in either CD or DVD editions. The
DVD edition includes all that is in the SOHO 5.8 install release plus
62 additional language packs for KDE. The CD version has lost some
functionality due to size constraints. The development tool chain and
OpenOffice.org were removed.release announcement
About Vector Linux
Vector Linux is a small, fast, Intel based Linux operating system for
PC style computers. The creators of Vector Linux had a single credo:
keep it simple, keep it small and let the end user decide what their
operating system is going to be. What has evolved from this concept is
perhaps the best little Linux operating system available anywhere. For
the casual computer user you have a lightening fast desktop with
graphical programs to handle your daily activities from web surfing,
sending and receiving email, chatting on ICQ or IRC to running an ftp
server. The power user will be pleased because all the tools are there
to compile their own programs, use the system as a server or perhaps
the gateway for their home or office computer network. Administrators
will be equally as pleased because the small size and memory
requirements of the operating system can be deployed on older machines
maybe long forgotten.
