Hi Dave, long time no hear.

I used Vector Linux extensively a year or more back for a Herefordshire 
LUG project to install Linux onto 6 low spec pc's for Community First.

Results were good, and both parties happy with the results. But 
....Vector Linux suffers from a small userbase compared to Xubuntu, 
Slackware, or Xenwalk which was demonstrated by the amount of silly 
little fixes that were required to get some quite basic things sorted 
out, ie UK keyboard layout wouldnt stick, with adjusting the order of 
scripts to call it - not very user friendly !!

But it ran quick, and did keep these elderly PC's going.

Xenwalk looks nice, tho' haven't tried it.

PS Is it me, or have we forget the meeting this month ? Or did we decide 
that we would have a Xmas meal sometime in the month instead ??
