############################### |vector_edition| Deluxe Edition ############################### What is the Deluxe Edition? =========================== .. image:: _static/images/vldeluxe.gif :align: center :alt: Deluxe Vector Linux DELUXE now comes in two Editions: Deluxe SOHO and Deluxe Standard. Both are available from our CD-Store. As at March 1st, 2009 Deluxe Standard is at version 6.0 while Deluxe SOHO is still at Version 5.9, although we expect a version 6.0 of Deluxe SOHO later in 2009. The Deluxe Editions are intended for professionals, extending the SOHO and Standard editions with up to 1000 MB of additional software. The extra applications can be installed individually to build the system exactly as you need it. The two CD package set of Deluxe Standard features a custom XFCE desktop with popular applications like Amarok, Blender, and the Gimp. Additional included applications are KDE 4.2, OpenOffice 3 and E17 amongst many others, particularly multimedia applications. Fourteen days of professional installation and configuration support included. There is automatic support for printers, scanners, USB hardware and CDRW / DVD drives. There are several new multimedia programs and libraries, the latest network applications and development programs along with their needed libraries. We have also included custom graphics only available in the DELUXE version. Click `HERE `_ for screenshots. The second bonus CDROM is built around our own community produced VL MULTIMEDIA BONUS DISK. This is a gigantic set of multimedia orientated applications and libraries that allow you to perform anything from dvd authoring to full audio/video editing. A complete list of included programs and screenshots can be found on the `VL website `_.
