Tests for your assistant:
- How does VL 5 soho perform other than OO.org? - How does VL 5 standard compare to VL 5 soho? - How many desktops are installed in each? - Do the media players work? - Does it detect and install drivers for winmodems (which ones)? - Do the icons and menu items work as advertised? - What is the main file manager? - How are the fonts? - Are the dialup and high-speed setups bulletproof? - Is there a useful spreadsheet?
VL now has useful documentation. I skimmed it. Worth reading. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/vectorlinux/docs/

Well, with 320 MB of ram it appears twice as fast to bring it to a tolerable speed, but definitely not recommended.

Well&. It runs&. Kinda like windows 98 on a 386sx20 with 16mb ram.
For those of you that don t understand&. Slow. Takes over a minute to launch OOwriter.
Opera is not installed by default, but version 8 downloads and installs without a hitch.
It seems pretty heavy for a PII, it might do better with more memory.
I see if I can t dig some memory up and see how it run with 256 MB.
