Red Star OS, a Linux Distro Made in North Korea
,----[ Quote ]
| North Korea has been discovered developing
| its own Linux distro named Red Star OS. To
| make it even more interesting, it is said to
| be commissioned by the infamous Kim Jong-il.
|
| A Russian student of Kim Il-sung University
| at Pyongyang bought the distro for $5 USD at
| an information centre, and then shared his
| discovery through his blog.

Taking Linux into the Wild Woods
,----[ Quote ]
| Places like this sometimes have computers,
| and a reasonable amount of use for one, but
| they're way outside the normal network
| connected sphere of influence you see in the
| regular world. That then begs the question,
| how do we get Linux into areas like that?
|
| The One Laptop Per Child project and others
| like that are working to solve that problem
| for many of us. However, what do you do
| about the people who already have computers
| and either have never heard about Linux, or
| have no way to get it (ie, no internet, or
| limited connectivity). What can we do to
| bring Linux to them? Has anyone even thought
| about this?

KDE in North Korea
,----[ Quote ]
| I just saw an article about North Korean
| Linux distro, named "ëìë" from Russian
| blog. Although I don't know anything about
| distro's base, who developed and
| translated, who packaged, etc. The
| interesting part is that this distribution
| is using KDE, release 3.x. Also it is
| translated in "North" Korean standard,
| which is different from "South" Korean
| standard, especially in technological
| terms. North uses loanwords from Russian
| language, while South uses them from
| English. North try to keep pure Korean
| terms, South widely adopted foreign
| loanwords. As of linguistic and real
| world, maybe also political
| difference(south and north can't
| communicate), we can't mix and match the
| translation.
