Thumbs up Vector Linux

Just installed Vector Linux (which claims to be "light") on an old Duron 700 with 128 meg laptop.

Got to say it's pretty good out of the box. Found all the hardware and just "worked".

Runs OpenOffice & Firefox without any issues.

Laptop is now destined for my 6 year old nephew.
