Vine Linux 5
,----[ Quote ]
| Product: Vine Linux 5.0
| Web Site: Vine Linux (Via Google Translator)
| Price: Free
| Pros: Let you choose from a range of install options and lets you customize
| your software choices.
| Cons: Default language is Japanese so the initial install screen might throw
| people. Doesnât come with any office suites or significant office apps
| available during the install. Youâll need to download them via Synaptic after
| you install Vine Linux.
| Suitable For: Particularly great if you need a Japanese Linux environment.
| Can also be used by pretty much any other group of Linux users. Just be
| mindful that youâll need to change the default language to English during the
| install.
| Summary: Vine Linux provides Japanese (and English) users with a good
| desktop Linux experience. Installation is easy and can be customized. Vine
| Linux also provides a good range of Linux apps (with the exception of office
| apps).
| Rating: 3.5/5

Simply Mepis 8 is a nice little Debian-based Linux distro
,----[ Quote ]
| I am now running the latest version of Simply Mepis 8, one of many offshoots
| of Debian Linux and therefore a cousin of the venerable Ubuntu. I am taken
| back a couple of years to the simpler days of the KDE 3.5 interface. KDE 4,
| the current darling, is a work of art by the guys at TrollTech, borrowing
| elements from Apple's Aqua interface, but this old tech favors reliability
| over flash, and as a law student I have little time to expore the wonders of
| KDE 4. Simply Mepis with KDE 3.5 is, in a word, familiar.
