There were three releases of this pretty close together.
Releases, download links and checksums:
• 2015-09-21: Distribution Release: Linux Mangaka Mou
• 2015-08-16: Distribution Release: Linux Mangaka Koe
• 2015-06-21: Distribution Release: Linux Mangaka Nyu
• 2015-05-28: Development Release: Linux Mangaka Nyu Alpha
• 2009-12-02: Distribution Release: Linux Mangaka Chu
• More Mangaka releases...
Just search on the Linux Mangaka title and you should find a
download site for that shortly. I would go with Distrowatch
to download though for regular downloads they hand it off to
the originating site or Sourceforge where lots of fine
utility software is made available.
Personally I use a general purpose Linux, PCLinuxOS64 and
before PCLinux I used Mandriva from 2006-2012. The 2011 release
was not working on my hardware so I found a usable fork from
Mandriva predecessor, Mandrake, for a while I had to leave the
PCLinux to use Mageia, another fork from Mandriva.
But I also use KDE's Plasma which is a Desktop Environment
that lets you use a wide variety of tools adaptable to the watching
of anime and reading of manga. VLC for anime and Gwenview for manga.
Any good drawing program(Krita) will let you create manga or even
comix or comics if you have the talent and drive.
Anyone having trouble finding download site for any Linux
distribution is free to ask me about that topic. If you are
naive to Linux then the best bet is to join a Linux Users Group.
Linux can be run on nearly any computer without even installing
the system to disk if you know a few simple facts.
