I have always liked Vector Linux. It is fast, handles proprietary formats very well and is quite stable. There is a little more tinkering than with Ubuntu but the results are very strong.
At one point, I worked at a car dealership that had some 10 year old computers laying around – literally Windows 98 machines with 64Meg of memory. After cannibalizing all of the usable memory chips to create some 128Meg machines, I set up some computers for the sales staff who did not have a usable computer. Vector turned these glorified paper weights into useful, functional machines. Impressive. The dealer principal was computer illiterate but he was pleased with how good this new version of “Windows” worked.

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).
