Vine Linux is a compact and lightweight Japanese Linux distribution developed by Project Vine and many contributors. Various considerations have been made so that you can work in a comfortable Japanese environment immediately after installation. With a core operating system that fits on a 2GB USB memory and a collection of additional packages called VinePlus, you can build an operating system to suit your needs. The well-established package manager APT and its simple user interface make it easy to add and update software.
Vine Linux 6 runs on PCs (Intel x86 compatible 32-bit systems and AMD64/Intel64 compatible 64-bit systems) and can be used equally in any environment.
Anyone can freely participate in the development of Vine Linux, making it a free operating system that allows those who need it to create what they need.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
