Notes about screenshots

You may have noticed that even though we said we used our GX50 for reviewing , for VectorLinux 5.8 SOHO one of the screenshots was taken on an Atlhon 64 3200+.

This is because we are using virtualization to take the screenshots before the X server is up and running so, we need to make the install process two times minimun.

If somebody has a suggestion about how to skip this step and still have a nice screenshot, it will be greatly apreciated.

Thank you in advance.
