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.
