发行版Vine Linux 5.0

        Vine Linux是一套集成了日语环境的Linux发行，它适用于桌面个人电脑和笔记本电脑。Vine项目由JPE（日语扩展计划）的六位成员于1998年创立，依靠许许多多的成员和志愿者的帮助，Vine Linux的发展得到了推进。Vine Linux的开发版叫Vine Seed，它向公众开放，所有的开发人员都被欢迎加入进来并贡献他们的成果。大多数的应用程序都提供对Kanji字典的支持。日文输入支持则由FreeWnn（在商业CR版中是Wnn6）或者Canna输入服务器来提供。

         Daisuke Suzuki has announced the release of Vine Linux 5.0, a Japanese community distribution for desktops and servers: "This is Vine Linux version 5 release. Since this is not a commercial edition, non-free applications and fonts are not included on the CD/DVD. Instead of proprietary ATOX Japanese input and Ricoh/Dynacomware fonts, this FTP edition contains Anthy and free TrueType fonts. Vine Linux 5 has the following new features: lightweight and high-speed; restructured software collection; support for x86_64 architecture; look and feel improvements; new user-friendly tools; new USB/DVD installable images." Vine Linux 5.0 is based on Linux kernel 2.6.27 with glibc 2.8 and GCC 4.1.2, the default desktop is GNOME 2.26 using X.Org Server 1.6.3.
