XPost: rec.arts.anime.misc   
   From: bliss-sf4ever@dslextreme.com   
      
      Now this is the Linux distribution for the fan with artistic   
   ambitions   
        Nearly 3 Gigabytes stuffed with every software tool a mangaka   
   might want from the FOSS world or which a doujin-ka would   
   like to have.   
      
        Ok that is an excellent release as I can tell.   But it is not set   
   up for   
   installation on a GPT or modern partitioning scheme as it has no EFI   
   support built-in.   This puts it at a level of the last rolling release of   
   PCLOS which is another system jammed with sardware but which has   
   released no new .iso files since 2014.12.  At PCLOS they are working   
   on EFI compatibility.   
      
        This uses the KDE of 4.19.3 vintage which is an excellent iteration   
   of that Desktop and Window management scheme.   The only   
   shortfall I find is that KWrite is not included.   I use KWrite for some   
   small files but Kate for the larger stuff.   
        Under the Games section is educational stuff including a Japanese   
   dictionary and a Kanji learning scheme.   
        Under the Internet menu we find a lot of useful communication   
   tools.   
        Office is full Libre Office with a few other useful tools.   
        Graphics has Krita and some other fairly common desktop tools   
        Blender is not missing. Koe has a multitude of manga download   
   and reader tools.   
      
        So this release require x86_64 base processor and I suggest several   
   cores in the processor and a speed well above 2 GHz.  It needs memory   
   too and much less than 8 GiB or maybe 4 with GPU with at least 1 GiB   
   of dedicated memory.   
      
        Now the lack of EFI/GPT support is a bummer but I am going to down-   
   load the package list and look for the things that Mageia is missing so   
   that   
   I can try to add those.  I will also look for a method of installation   
   of the   
   older system into a EFI/GPT environment.   
      
        If you do little Google search you should be able to find a torrent   
   for linux-mangaka-koe-final.iso once you have burned it to a disk or   
   loaded it into a virtual machine you can look at it and try it for your   
   self.  Any further questions about this feel free to ask me.   
      
        So if I find more data on this then you can be sure you will read   
   about it here.
