Vine Linux 2.5 (non-commercial FTP version) has been released today.
Mirroring to secondary servers is on the way: a few more days are needed
to be fully mirrored. Known problems and bug fixes against 2.5 release
will be available on this web site or on the mailing list.
We are now preparing a nifty script to upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.5 with
apt. It will be available when ready.
The long-awaited product, Vine Linux 2.5CR (= Commercial Release)
will be available at retail resellers in late April. 2.5CR includes
as much as Intel, PPC, Alpha releases plus snapshot release for Sparc.
Commercial softwares such as Ricoh Japanese TrueType Fonts (five fonts)
for all archtectures, and famous Japanese Input Method Wnn7
by Omron Software for Intel and PPC. Wnn7 for PPC will be the first
public release available.
Pre-orders can be available at the online shop below. Upgrades from
old version of CR products is also available.

Vine Linux 2.1.5, a bugfix release of Vine Linux 2.1, has been released
and available on ftp mirror sites.
Intel, PowerPC (pmac), Sparc edition are available (Alpha edition is
also available as a "Technology Preview" release).
Vine Linux 2.1.5 now integrates rpm-compatible version of
apt,
an supreme package management system derived from
Debian GNU/Linux.
You can now easily install/delete/upgrade packages with apt.
But please note that the upgrade with
apt
is supported ONLY from 2.1.5 to newer versions: we have not comfirmed
to successfully upgrade to 2.1.5 from previous versions with apt.
