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 availability of the first alpha release of VectorLinux 7.0: "The development crew is happy to bring you the first core release of VectorLinux 7.0. This is alpha 1 so expect your computer to catch fire and crash and burn... This is all the latest and greatest from Linux from the X.Org server on down. There is nothing fancy here just a console login and doing startx gives you a basic Xfce desktop. There is Firefox, Opera and gFTP to keep you connected and the other basics. There is no gslapt or slapt-get as there is no real repository yet for version 7.0. We would like you brave testers to check for bugs, try building your favorite applications, etc. We have included a new set of plugins to do things like Qt movie trailers, the standard RealPlayer and MS stuff. We want to make sure the core is up to snuff before we spend a lot of time building on top of it." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: VL7.0-CORE-ALPHA-1.iso (638MB, MD5). |
