This alliance will compete directly in the Linux Desktop marketplace

MadTux, a leading Linux hardware vendor established since 2000 and Vector Linux, a popular open-source operating system, formed in 1999, are pleased to announce the release of the Lean, Mean, Green Vector Machine. Consumers everywhere will now have the choice of the fastest Linux distro on their desktops. The Lean, Mean, Green (LMG) Vector Machine is offered in a number of configurations, ranging from bleeding edge 3.3GHz 64-bit performance to the reliable but affordable $139 PC.

Technical support for the LMG will be offered directly by the world-renowned technical experts who developed Vector Linux, so customers can be sure they are in capable hands when they have technical questions.

The following is a quote of a review by O’Reilly of the Vector Linux v5.8 Gold Edition:

“Quote” from O'Reillynet.com Once upon a time there was a small, lightweight distribution based on Slackware. It wasn’t all that different from any of a number of small, lightweight distros designed to work on older hardware though it seemed to be well thought out. That was Vector Linux 1.8 six years ago. Since then VL has grown into a full featured distribution available in several different configurations. The latest release, Vector Linux 5.8, appeared on December 18th and it is clearly the most mature yet, in many ways equaling or even surpassing more popular distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mandriva.

This alliance will compete directly in the Linux Desktop marketplace, offering the fastest OS on the planet, fully configured at low cost with bleeding edge precision performance. The Lean, Mean Green Vector Machine is available now at http://store.madtux.org.
