A good review. Not much to add, except to mention that there are hundreds of great Vector Linux tutorials (based on Flash) available at http://opensourcebistro.com/. I used these when I updated Flash and installed the Google Chrome browser and Google Earth. But if you’re really new to Linux, you might want to view the Install and some of the other basic tutorials also. When you combine Vector Linux, its forums and wikis, with Open Source Bistro — you’ve got an excellent distribution with very good community support.

My mom lives in North Alabama, she will turn 64 this week… Happy Birthday mom! She has heard me rave over Linux for 10+years and wanted to try it on a dual boot with her XP. I talked her into trying a 6.0 Gold install. While I did help her over the phone with creating new partitions for the new install, the process was flawless and after about a month and a half of using the OS she claims to not be using her windows partition at all….. GO MOM!

Good overview. I’ve never understood why more people don’ point out how much nicer that Vector looks compared to other distros, once its installed. The fit and finish on the “eye candy” is better than anything I’ve seen, IMO. It just looks polished, which some others don’t (despite reviewers saying they do).

I must admit, that I am VERY impressed with Vector 6! I installed it on an older PIII with an old Gforce2 mx400 Nvidia video card. The Nvidia driver was installed right away, and everything just worked right after install. The only thing that I seemed to need or want from their repositories was Wine. Vector comes with a pretty complete selection of all the commonly-used apps. I give it thumbs-up, for sure!
