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. Also, it uses a lightweight window manager (LXDE), in order to reduce the minimal system requirements for usage. Developers claim that this distro allows to play back high resolution videos (720p) in a netbook. [1]

Development team

[edit]

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). [1]

Releases

[edit]

By the moment, Mangaka Linux has only one distribution, dubbed Mangaka Linux One, in DVD format. There are plans for early 2010 to release a second distribution, named Chu (word game with "Two")[2], which is planned to be distributed both on DVD and in a set of CDs.[3]

[edit]

Linux Mangaka has had several more releases

Linux mangaka-koe-final.iso in August 2015

linux-mangaka-mou-final.iso in September 2015

Both are traditional releases using MBR rather than the more recent UEFI.
