Perhaps you're loading images from your cache, because it's not working for me. Instead I get a page from godaddy claiming that the domain has expired.

I just recently started using Vector, and quite like it. The support forum, which is also gone, was helpful. I wonder if this means that the distribution is discontinued. If that's the case, I'll likely go back to Debian rather than experiment with another small-fry distribution.

I'm sincerely hopeful that this is just a temporary SNAFU. I haven't used VectorLinux in a couple years, but it's a very respectable distro. Great performance (even on cruddy hardware), nice overall polish.
yeah, vector is a great distro imo. I have had a couple of older computers with small drives and vector light fits on a cd installs in a small space and has good package management, based on slackware packages. I too hope this is temporary.
Distribution: Debian Wheezy, Jessie, Sid/Experimental, playing with LFS.

I'm sure its just a simple issue, it seems to happen (Slackware comes to mind) occasionally. I wouldn't be hitting the red button or going on a panic rampage just yet.

You're right. I emailed a developer and heard back from him today. He stated it was a simple oversight and should be fixed soon. So, the site should be back on line shortly.
