Linpus Linux is a Fedora based desktop Linux distribution created by the Taiwanese firm Linpus Technologies Inc.[1] Linpus was designed specifically to fully support the Asian market, with full Unicode support for the Chinese and Japanese Language. A special version Linpus Lite, was written to run on devices with lower cost hardware such as UMPCs. It has both an icon and tab-based "Simple mode", designed for new users; and, a conventional style "PC mode" for those requiring a more Microsoft Windows-like interface. It is targeted at handheld devices with smaller screens, and supports resolutions as low as VGA (640x480).[2] The Acer Aspire One, Norhtec Gecko[3] and AIRIS KIRA Series[4] UMPC comes with Linpus Lite Linux pre-installed. A version for normal desktop computers and servers is also available, as well as a Multimedia version called Linpus Media Center. The Media Center version offers an "Upgrade pack" to legally use DVD, MP3, WMV and other non-free codecs.
