#3It looks like an up-to-date Linux with KDE 3.5 so the comments about it being a 10-year-old Windows knock-off are amusing, but surely this is just South Korean propaganda that's being mindlessly repeated?

#4The Linux-based Red Star system borrows heavily from early versions of Microsoft and has knock-off copies of the computer giant’s word processing, spread sheet and power point programmes, the report said.

It does say a lot when non-techies view fairly recent linux desktops as "10 year old" software. I guess if they used kde4, the article might be calling it a Vista knockoff.

#6They built a crippled Linux distro? Didn't China try the same thing with red flag os?

#7Can we get a copy? I'd love to try this. I'd worry about the North Korean government spying on me though.

yep, it was, but it's sort of sad that most laymen use the derogatory term 'knock-off', since that implies some form of piracy

I think it just means they don't have the same definition of advanced software as people like us do. I use what I consider to be a cutting-edge Linux OS, but because I use software that's been around forever, like BASH and VIM, I've had several people make comments about my "retro" system.
