Once sales and accounting begin to realize that using OEM devices poorly supported on Linux (e.g. Broadcom) means Chinese customers won't buy the hardware, they'll begin using more Linux friendly vendors such as Intel.
I wonder what spyware they have embedded in it? A distro brought to you by the Chinese government. I would trust that as much as a distro brought to you by the NSA.

SELinux is open source, is there any validity to a claim that SELinux performs anything other than securing the local operating system?
To make it crystal clear: I'm not saying SELinux is untrustworthy. I am just asking the poster if they would trust SELinux knowing that it came from the NSA. I ask the same question of people when they claim that Windows/OS X is untrustworthy because the NSA may have made changes to spy on the user through it.

Nope. I use apparmor. Interesting though. I didn't know that about SELinux.
Can we please stop referring to spins and skins of existing Linux distributions as a whole new OS? There doesn't appear to be much hear that a highschool kid could not do in a few days. Pretty under whelming for an effort of a nation state of 1.3 billion people.

What does the population have to do with the complexity of the OS project?
... comes from the obvious unacceptability, to the Chinese, that this word is already known to English speakers as "kirin", by way of the via the Japanese language.

Do you use a kernel with a version greater than 2.5? Then you have SELinux as a part of your kernel source, so the NSA has sponsored made changes to your kernel.
