Brief Review Of Vector Linux SOHO

Posted by timothy on from the pointy-lines dept.

duncan bayne writes "I have just installed Vector Linux SOHO 5.0 RC2 on my old P150 laptop. Overall I was very impressed, and have posted a brief review on my blog. This distro has a lot to offer, especially to schools and other organisations trying to extract more useful life from obsolete hardware."

    RTFA and you find out that he had to compile many things from source, by hand, as the VLAPT system doesn't contain many packages.

    Not "impressive" or "polished" at all.

    There's no mention of what the default KDE is like (beyond "slow") as he uses IceWM. Nothing about hardware detection. No screenshots. Nothing.

    Awful, awful article apparently reviewing an awful, awful distro; but he doesn't tell us enough to say how good it is.
