Good to read all your comments on different distro's. My fave for the last couple of years has been VectorLinux. Having tried RedHat 7.?, 8.3, then some version of Debian, followed by Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Feisty, I was looking for a distro for an old laptop and desktop and stumbled across VectorLinux 5.1 - Wow, it was fast on my old hardware!
Since then I've dabbled with Puppy, DSL and Ubuntu again but kept going back to Vector.
Vector 5.8 has been my platform of choice at home and for a special application at work (vitualised on Windows Server to be used as a bombproof SFTP server), it's been so simple and consistent to install and configure.
Just bought a netbook (Samsung NC10) with XP on and repartitioned for triple boot. Thought I'd give Ubuntu Jaunty netbook-remix a go, although it looks good it has screen refresh problems and can't get wireless to work. Enter VectorLinux 6.0... once again, it just works and is fast and looks good too!
Going to try Arch when I get the time. Triple boot for maximum tinkering time.
