March 4th, 2010 admin No comments

North Korea has reportedly developed its own version of the Linux operating with a graphical user interface that closely resembles Microsoft Windows. Although the operating system is still considered stable, it was easy to set up, taking around 15 minutes to install, however it comes with a single language option: Korean. The desktop interface shown in the screenshots closely resembles Windows, and appears to be based on a recent version of the K Desktop Environment (KDE). The Red Star browser, which Mikhail said was called My Country, is based on Mozilla’s Firefox browser, and allows users to access North Korea’s closed network , called My Country BBS. Other features of Red Star include a word processor, an e-mail client, antivirus software, multimedia players for audio and video, as well as several games.
