Linux for Older PCs : From Ubuntu to Vector Linux

Courtesy Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Sat, 09/27/2008 - 19:07

I tried Vector Linux, a slackware based distro, known to be fast and stable, ideal for older machines like mine and yet never compromising on the features...Once all the initial quirks are resolved (especially the xorg issue), VL is a really solid distro.

It is fast as expected from Xfce.
