Vector 6.0-SOHO BETA 3.
I used a COMPAQ Presario desktop I have used since 2006. AMD 64
Processor-3500-2GB-120GB hard drive-NVIDIA GeFORCE
6150 LE Graphics.
*Installation and post-install setup*: Installing the system was quick and
painless. It installed less than thirty minutes.
My formatting options:
I utilized my existing partitions using / exl4-reiserfs /dev/sda1-115GB and
/dev/sda5 4919 MB Swap.
I used the full / total install default software selection and 1024/768
resolution. Dic #1 finished, and than put in Dic #2.
I answered the usual questions and setup an adm. password and user info. /
password. I removed Dic#2.
No problems @boot. The Desktop loaded very quickly initial boot took about
thirty seconds. The wired network defaulted automatically.
I set the local time, reduced the desktop icons to 32. I don't like much on
a desktop. It was necessary to open the sound mixer and adjust the channel
configuration. I increased the PCM to the volume level I needed. This needs
to be done with most all distros.
That was the setup. *Done*.
I followed my usual routine: Secure the updates using Gslap, opened Firefox,
Google, Msnbc, a music Dvd.
Everything worked 100%. I held off my usual hacking and used all defaults.
The Desktop loaded very quickly.
The web page renderings were sharp, clear and very pleasing on my eyes. This
is not a geek only OS, Vector 6.0-SOHO is every one's desktop. I only looked
@ it as a desktop user.
This is a polished desktop offering more than all the necessary
applications.
I works flawlessly No problems. Sorry, nothing to report. Is it Vector 7.0
yet?
Regards,
Alex
