VectorLinux 5.1 Live

"VECTORLINUX is a small, fast, Linux operating system for Intel, AMD and x86 compatible systems, based on one of the original Linux distributions, Slackware. The enormously popular Slackware is the true 'Unix' of Linux distributions and is used by major corporations, universities and home users alike. Its popularity stems from the fact that it is a robust, versatile and almost unbreakable system. We have produced a bloat free, easy to install, configure and maintain Slackware based system that is second to none. We include automatic hardware configuration, unique administration tools and easy package management via the Gslapt/slapt-get system. We are also known as the fastest non-source distro on the planet!

On this 1 little cd you get everything from VectorLinux standard edition including 3 full feature desktops Icewm, Fluxbox, and xfce4 a full office suite, and too many other apps to mention.

We have added Gparted for all of your GUI partitioning needs. The Live-CD installer icon is now on all of the root ROX desktops along with an icon for Gparted. We have added more options to the hard drive installer including an option for a seperate /home partition, and the ability to choose if, and where to install lilo.

We have added wifi-radar for easy connections to wireless networks, and more wireless drivers and firmware so now even more cards are supported. Cards with ipw2100 and ipw2200 chipsets should now work out of the box.

Updates from 5.1 Standard non-live version include kernel 2.6.15.3, firefox-1.5.0.4, ndiswrapper 1.9, openoffice 2.0, udev 0.71,wifi-radar 1.9.6, Gparted 0.2.4, and its dependancies. [...]"
