开发版：小巧快捷的VectorLinux 5.8 RC3 (SOHO)发布

运行平台:Linux系列
授权方式:开源软件
Vector Linux是一份小巧快捷的、基于Intel处理器的PC机Linux操作系统。Vector Linux的创建者们有一则简单的信条：简单、小巧，并让最终用户决定他们的操作系统成为什么样子。由此观念发展而来的恐怕是世界上小型Linux操作系统中的最优者。对那些普通的计算机用户而言，他们得到的是一份快捷的桌面，有很多图形化的程序可供处理日常中的各种事物，从上网冲浪、收发电子邮件到用 ICQ或者IRC聊天，以及架设一台ftp服务器。高级用户们将会感到满意，因为有全套的工具可以编译他们自己的应用程序，从而把系统设置成服务器，要么是家庭或办公室计算机网络的网关。系统管理员们将同样得到满足，因为这份操作系统所要求的磁盘和内存空间是那样的小，以至可以部署在那些恐怕早已被遗忘的旧式机器上。

Robert Lange has announced the third release candidate of VectorLinux 5.8 SOHO edition: "The VectorLinux development team proudly announces the release of VectorLinux 5.8 SOHO RC3. This release addresses all the bugs and suggestions since the RC2 release. We spent a good deal of energy perfecting the binary NVIDIA and ATI drivers installation routine plus updated to latest drivers. We felt it was time to give our users the best out-of-the-box experience and in today's world video performance is a must. Vleasytables, our unique firewall that we think users will find easy to use and configure, was tweaked. The kernel is updated to 2.6.20.7, Firefox and OpenOffice.org updated to their latest and some serious updates to Vasm to reflect new configuration programs." The release announcement.
