VECTORLINUX is a small, fast, Intel Linux operating system 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. It's popularity stems
from the fact that it is a robust, versatile and almost unbreakable
system. Slackware has been traditionally known to be about as user
friendly as a coiled rattlesnake and that's where Vector Linux comes into
play. We have produced a bloat free, easy to install, configure and
maintain Slackware based system that is second to none. The average user
can have a fully functional Slackware Linux system up in as little as 15
minutes with the security of knowing their operating system has been built
on a rock solid foundation.
