Robert Lange has announced the final release of VectorLinux 5.9: "The
VectorLinux development team is proud to announce the release of
VectorLinux 5.9 final GOLD edition. This is the fruit that has resulted
from several months of coding, debugging and testing by the core
development team and the VectorLinux community. It follows our legendary
tradition of stability (inherited from Slackware 12.0), blazing speed
on even modest hardware and simplicity of design and function. The
release features fully working browser plugins including Flash, Java,
mp3, Real media, Windows media, PDF and QuickTime. Additional features
include: X.Org 7.3, Linux kernel 2.6.22.14, fully customized Xfce
4.4.2...." Read the release announcement for full details. Download: VL5.9-STD-Gold.iso (676MB, MD5).VectorLinux 5.9 "SOHO"
Robert Lange has announced the release of VectorLinux 5.9 SOHO edition: "We
have released VectorLinux 5.9 SOHO. It has been a year since our last
SOHO release and from all reports this is our best yet. Starting from
the ground up with our 5.9 standard release, we have taken VectorLinux
to a new high. This is absolutely the fastest KDE 3.5.9 desktop you will
find anywhere with a optional Fluxbox desktop for power users. The eye
candy is amazing, with four special themes to select from at
installation time. We have fixed most of the oddities and bugs found in
the standard release and have made many improvements to our in-house
utilities. Everything is updated and patched so no need to worry about
homeland security. The amount of software available on this 2-disc set
will simply amaze." See the release announcement and product page
for further information. VectorLinux 5.9 SOHO is not available for free
download, but the official CD set can be purchased from the project's online store for US$24.99.VectorLinux 5.9.1 "SOHO"
Robert Lange has announced the release of VectorLinux 5.9.1 "SOHO" edition, now also available as a free download: "The
5.9.1 release is a maintenance and bug-fix release for the previous
SOHO 5.9 and includes 52 updates to the core system. You will also find
Firefox 3.0.1, Opera 9.52, Pidgin 2.5.1, SANE 1.0.19 and a host of
others. The kernel has been upgraded to 2.6.25.7 for better driver
support in both sound and WiFi. After long consideration we determined
that this was just too darned good and we wanted everyone to see just
how good this is. We are confident that after trying the free edition
you will want to come back and purchase the DELUXE edition. The default
desktop is KDE 3.5.9. More than just amazing eye candy, KDE's extensive
collection of graphical tools makes it easy to use for non-technical
users." Read the release notes and visit the DELUXE product page for further details. Download: VL5.9.1-SOHO.iso (643MB, MD5).VectorLinux 5.9 "Live"

VectorLinux Live team is proud to announce the release of VectorLinux
5.9 Standard Live CD (and the first 5.9 Light beta live CD). This is the
final release for 5.9 Standard Live. We like to keep our live CDs as
close to the installed versions as possible, except for the addition of
GParted for easy GUI partitioning. The 5.9 Standard Live CD has been

that makes live CD remastering easy for everyone. These live CDs include
