VectorLinux 7.1 RC1 发布

Vector Linux是一份小巧快捷的、基于Intel处理器的PC机Linux操作系统。Vector Linux的创建者们有一则简单的信条：简单、小巧，并让最终用户决定他们的操作系统成为什么样子。由此观念发展而来的恐怕是世界上小型Linux操作系 统中的最优者。对那些普通的计算机用户而言，他们得到的是一份快捷的桌面，有很多图形化的程序可供处理日常中的各种事物，从上网冲浪、收发电子邮件到用 ICQ或者IRC聊天，以及架设一台ftp服务器。高级用户们将会感到满意，因为有全套的工具可以编译他们自己的应用程序，从而把系统设置成服务器，要么 是家庭或办公室计算机网络的网关。系统管理员们将同样得到满足，因为这份操作系统所要求的磁盘和内存空间是那样的小，以至可以部署在那些恐怕早已被遗忘的 旧式机器上。

Robert Lange has announced the first release candidate of VectorLinux Linux 7.1, a fast, light-weight Linux distribution that is designed to work well on older hardware: "The VectorLinux team is proud to announce the availability of the RC1 release of VectorLinux-7.1. We include Xfce4, the GIMP, Firefox, CUPS, Exaile, popular multimedia plugins, and many other programs to maximize the desktop experience. Also new is an update to our very own installer; this was written from scratch and is a major improvement from previous installers. This is a RC release so final is soon to follow after initial peer testing. We want as many people as possible to test this and give us feedback." Check the brief release announcement.
