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.
