Vector Linux

Website

Vector Linux Facts:
  • Comes with KDE desktop
  • Runs Opera "out of the box" (this was huge for me!)
  • Vector Linux is based on Slackware, the oldest distro still in use and available.

What I liked:
  • Opera was already there, ready to go, which was great for this newb!
  • Seamonkey was also installed, which I like reasonably well (it's a Mozilla project, like Firefox and Galeon)
  • There is multimedia support for iPods and such.

What I didn't like:
  • I tried to install it to hard drive (I liked it that much) but I felt that the install process was a newbie nightmare with the partitioning and such
  • The installation froze up and refused to boot again, except from the Live CD

Summary:
I really wish I had been able to install this OS; however, it was not all that newbie friendly and it did freeze up on install, so I have to give this one a C-
