Nope. Never heard of it, unless you me WINE. If it is VINE, what is it?

Erm, maybe this Vine Linux Home Page (http://www.vinelinux.org/) will help. If you read Japanese that is :D

I am looking for a Japanese friendly distro and I heard vine was cool. Was wondering if anyone had tried it on a native English PC

As in English or Japanese hardware? All my hardware manuals are written in a multitude of languages so I guess my pc's are multilingual. ;)

Mainly hardware, it most likely doesn't matter though.

The main reason I am after this is that I want a way to input and read Japanese in linux. I have been turning to microsoft for that in the past. Win2k handles multilanguage support extremely well.

Actually it doesn't matter.

I've just started using Konqueror (not bad at all) and I was surprised when the Japanese characters displayed correctly from the vine website. Didn't do me much good though as I had to click on the English.

I'm not just talking about websites, which use unicode to display foreign text, but for example in the console as well. So even in programs such as PINE Japnaese text will be properly displayed...

Also, does anyone have any information on inputing text?
