Vine Linux is a supreme Linux distribution with integrated Japanese environment for desktop PCs and notebooks.

Vine Linux is a compact and lightweight Japanese Linux distribution for desktop PCs and notebooks.

The whole Vine Linux distribution consists of two categories: one CD install media (Vine Linux main) which can also be installed from 1GB USB memory media; and additional package collections (Vine Plus).

Vine Linux is an rpm-based distribution with apt-rpm powered, which helps easy and straightahead package managements.

Key features:

The following are some of the key features of Vine Linux:

  • Graphical installation interface powered by Anaconda
  • Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and RAID are supported by the installer. LVM is the default disk partitioning scheme
  • Disk encryption is not supported by the installer
  • Ext3 is the only journaling file system type available during installation
  • RPM-based, but APT-ified
  • Firewall is enabled out of the box


Update (via Distrowatch):


Vine Linux Daisuke Suzuki has announced the release of Vine Linux 5.2, a Japanese general-purpose community distribution. This is mostly a security and errata update of the free distribution which does not contain any proprietary components, non-free applications or non-free fonts. Some of the more interesting changes include: miscellaneous package version updates (Firefox 3.5.15, Pidgin 2.7.5, Sylpheed 3.0.2, Thunderbird 3.1.6); improved video card support for various Intel, NVIDIA and ATI cards; system installer fixes, including improved detection of FAT file systems, support for SD cards and Firewire controllers, and better detection of wireless network cards; updated list of APT mirrors; the DVD edition now includes the Vine Linux manual.
