Linux Mangaka One

Linux Mangaka Chu

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).

Mangaka Linux has two distributions, both released in DVD format. The first one, dubbed Mangaka Linux One, uses LXDE as its desktop environment, and the second, named Chu (word game with "Two"), uses GNOME and is more focused in new computers; the latter was released in November 2009. The latter was planned to be distributed both on DVD and in a set of CDs, but the plan was later dismissed.
