anojrs.blogspot.com — I tried Vector Linux, a slackware based distro, known to be fast and stable, ideal for older machines like mine and yet never compromising on the features...Once all the initial quirks are resolved (especially the xorg issue), VL is a really solid distro. It is fast as expected from Xfce.

Vector is my distro of choice. I was a complete Linux newbie when I first used it and it ran amazingly well on my old PII machine and was very user-friendly. I still recommend it to anyone wanting to get into Linux.

This guy is clueless. Seriously -- 1.6GHz == old? No.

Not what you were asking for but kmandla.wordpress.com has some nice guides on working with older hardware.

I have used Vector Linux off and on for years on a wide variety of PC's. Have always found it solid, with the Vector Linux community willing to help.larrywsn
