Red Star Linux 3.0, built by the Korea Computer Center (KCC) software center in Pyongyang, has come with a complete desktop design overhaul, one that has many seeing a possible copy of Mac OS X. Version 2.0 had looked much more like Windows 7, and was released in 2011.

Possible copy? The Program bar at the bottom is a direct rip off as well as many of the other look. Even some of the icons look like MacOS. Wonder if the almighty Apple will go after it.

I'm surprised North Korea chose something as open and free as Linux for an official OS...You'd think they would've chosen WINDOWS.

Windows is made by the devil US...Linux may have originated in the US but is now international. Plus, Linux is based on BSD, which was created by someone who's views sound very communist if translated poorly.

I have hacked this "Chappy" account to bring you all the wonderous news!
This entire Operating System was designed & built by our Illustrious Leader Kim-SukDong-Il, with no borrowed code from any Imperialistic evil USofA devils. In fact, all of the current operating systems were built with stolen code that came from the beneficent mind of the most revered father, Kim-Dung-Il.
The malevolent dogs, Bill Gates & Steve Jobs used their fiendish powers to supplant CIA spies into the great Father's mind to remove this code from his memory.

Death to all of you who speak Il of our cherubic leader! We shall bomb the satanic USofA into oblivion with our most divine & powerful Nuclear weapons and continue the unification of our great country.

Thank you, and have a nice day

Duk-dong-kuon
Grand Minister of Bureau of Nuclear Destruction of Evil USofA
