Mangaka Linux
Mangaka Linux is a GNU/Linux operative system based on Ubuntu. It's especially developed for the specific needs of the otaku community, including by default programs for fansubbing, web browsing, multimedia playback and creation. The first EDition uses a lightweight window manager (LXDE), in order to reduce the minimal system requirements for usage; developers claim that this version allows to play back high resolution videos (720p) in a netbook. The second version is more focused on newer computers, using the GNOME desktop environment for better usability.
Development team
Mangaka Linux is developed by a group named AnimeSoft International, a community formed mainly by Linux users and fansubbers, which develops this distribution on their spare time, which they codename AngelOS (Anime GNU Empowered Linux Operating System).
Releases
Mangaka Linux has two distributions, both released in DVD format. The First One, dubbed Mangaka Linux One, uses LXDE as its desktop environment, and the second, named Chu (pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "Two"), uses GNOME and is more focused in new computers; the latter was released in November 2009. The latter was planned to be distributed both on DVD and in a set of CDs, but the plan was later dismissed.
