Concept

JE(Japanese Extensions for Linux) is a collection of free software for a standard distribution of the Linux system such as Slackware or SLS for the convenience of Japanese users. Each program is ported or developed mostly by members of the Japanese Linux Mailing List, and is available as both pre-compiled binary and source codes, though the basic distribution only contains the binary. Although the binary is tar+gzip'ed like those in Slackware or SLS and could be installed by a standard installer such as pkgtool or sysinstall, JE has its own installer called ``ezinst'' which even does some basic configuration after the installation.
