... Just thought I'd let you lot know I got Vector Linux 4.0 running on my neighbours old computer ... It's so cool. =D

No ... -___-

It's another Linux Distro, you know, like, Mandrake, Red Hat. Just a little less known. And no, it isn't an "Old Version".

Oh, I just thought it sounded a little old. What makes it special enough to have a different name then?

A different name? =/

All Linux Distro's have a different name, apart from version upgrades. You have Red Hat, Mandrake, YellowDog, Knoppix and many others.

I tried Vector Linux. It's kewl until you miss your BlackBox Mandrake lol.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

All sounds a bit wierd to me! Mandrake, Red Hat, Black Hat, Vector, Crazy Horse! Its crazy! Why not just Linux 2004?

 

[DevilHack]

Because Linux is an individual thing. IF you knew the real truth on the NET you would understand.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

If Linux is one thing then give it one name under one Company, or a Co-op if you want to be all Open Sauce about it. But dozens of people working against one and other for the same cause is niether efficient nor and intelligent idea. Its just silly!

 

[DevilHack]

You're so ... UGH!
They work on Linux distros for themselves, because they hate windows, w/e they want. So SHUT THE FUCK UP.
