**Berry Linux** is a [Live CD](/source/Live_CD) [Linux distribution](/source/Linux_distribution) that has English and Japanese support. Berry Linux is based on and is compatible with [Fedora](/source/Fedora_(operating_system)) 39 packages. The distribution is primarily focused on use as a [Live CD](/source/Live_CD), but it can also be installed to a [live USB](/source/Live_USB) drive. Berry Linux can be used to try out and showcase [Linux](/source/Linux), for educational purposes, or as a rescue system, without the need to make changes to a [hard disk](/source/Hard_disk). The current version is 1.39 released on 31 May 2024.[2][3][4]

## Features

Berry includes read/write [NTFS](/source/NTFS) support, and [AIGLX](/source/AIGLX) and [Beryl](/source/Beryl_(window_manager)) are bundled for 3D desktop effects. Berry also uses [bootsplash](/source/Bootsplash), giving it a graphical startup.[5]

The full version (v1.12) includes and runs on [Linux Kernel](/source/Linux_Kernel) 3.0.4. It has the [ALSA](/source/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture) sound system, [ACPI](/source/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface) support, and [SELinux](/source/SELinux). Berry Linux features automatic hardware detection, with support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI, USB devices and many other peripherals. Network devices are automatically configured with [DHCP](/source/DHCP).

The full version of Berry Linux uses [KDE](/source/KDE) (Version 4.6.5) while Berry Linux Mini uses the [Fluxbox](/source/Fluxbox) window manager. The full version is 512.7MB, while the mini version is 273.4MB. To test Berry Linux it is not necessary to install the distribution to a hard disk, as the operating system runs entirely from [CD-ROM](/source/CD-ROM). It is, however, possible to install Berry Linux to a hard disk, which requires 1.7 gigabytes of free space. Supporting Japanese, Berry includes Whiz, a sharp Kana-Kanji conversion system. It also comes with [LibreOffice](/source/LibreOffice) version 3.4.3, a [Microsoft Office](/source/Microsoft_Office) compatible office suite, as well as [TextMaker](/source/TextMaker)/[PlanMaker](/source/PlanMaker) as Berry's office software. The [GIMP](/source/GIMP), version 2.6.10, is bundled for [graphics software](/source/Graphics_software).

Berry includes the media players [Audacious](/source/Audacious_(software)), [MPlayer](/source/MPlayer), [Xine](/source/Xine), and [Kaffeine](/source/Kaffeine). [DVD](/source/DVD) and [DivX](/source/DivX) codecs are installed by default.
