I have a couple of problems, my first being the display is very low quality, I want to know how I can change the color and which setting are the best. I am also interested in web dev. Is it possible to use Apache onVector Linux?

xorgconfig is used to configure the X server including graphics settings.

You may want to check out VASM and VASMCC. This depends a little on which version you have, but I take it you run 5.9?? If that doesn't get you any further post here what kind of monitor and resolution you have, and what kind of video card. __________________ Can't tell an OS by it's GUI
