The developers of the Slackware-based Vectorlinux GNU/Linux operating system have announced the release of the Beta build of the upcoming VectorLinux 7.2 release.
It took the developers nine months to move from the Alpha stage of development to Beta for the VectorLinux 7.2 distribution, which probably will be based on the recently released Slackware 14.2 operating system. The release is currently distributed in two flavors, VectorLinux 7.2 Light with the IceWM window manager, and VectorLinux 7.2 Standard with the more customizable Xfce 4.12 desktop environment.
Besides shipping with the IceWM window manager, the VectorLinux 7.2 Light edition also includes the SeaMonkey open-source suite of Internet applications (web browser, email and news client, and chat client). On the other hand, it looks like the VectorLinux 7.2 Standard flavor is using the more resource-hungry Mozilla Firefox web browser. Best of all, both editions ships without the systemd init system.
