VectorLinux SOHO: A better Slackware than Slackware

Relevance: 11.43
VectorLinux has been one of my favorite projects since my first test of the distribution almost 18 months ago.

While standard VectorLinux comes with the Xfce desktop environment and a variety of general-purpose applications, VectorLinux 5.8 SOHO offers the KDE desktop and a host of applications for small and home office users.
