Pohjois-Korean oma Linux-jakelu päivittyi hiljan. Uutuudessa on nyt mäkkimäinen teema.

Screenshots from the latest version of North Korea's home-grown "Red Star" Linux operating system reveal a striking resemblance to OS X, as shown in a new report from IDG News Service. The new look seen in version 3.0 of the software replaces the Windows-inspired design of version 2.0.

North Korea has upgraded the operating system used in the country - and it bears a striking resemblance to Apple's Mac OSX platform.

Red Star OS is the country's "home-grown" software that is installed on computers found mostly in libraries and schools.

It previously had a look that closely mimicked Microsoft's Windows system.

Screenshots were obtained by American computer scientist Will Scott and published on the NorthKoreaTech blog.

Despite living in a country very much shut off from the outside world, many people in North Korea do have access to technology - including mobile phones.

However, devices are heavily restricted. Internet access, for instance, is locked down, with most users able to visit only a handful of sites mostly serving up state-sponsored news.

Tämä on kieltämättä ihan kiva idea, mutta edelleen kaikki tietokoneet siellä pyörittävät Windowsia. Ja englanniksi tietysti kun koreankielinen versio on etelän pirujen tekemä.

XP taitaa olla yleisin. Ylempää yliopistotutkintoa suorittavilla on tämän mukaan dual boot läppäreissään.

Our university had a bunch of Dell core-duos. Mostly running WinXP - there was one newer one with win7 on it.

The graduate students had laptops that dual booted windows xp and Red Star, the DPRK's proprietary redhat-linux-based OS.

Ars Technicassa on juttua Red Star OS:n haavoittuvuuksista ja Pohjois-Korean uutissivuston haittaohjelmatartunnasta.

Kokeilin Red Starin kolmosversiota virtuaalikoneessa. Red Star OS ylittää kaikki aiemmin näkemäni kloonit (Pear Linux, Elementary OS) autenttisuudessaan.

Lisää kuvaruutukaappauksia tässä viestissä, koska liitteiden määrä on rajoitettu vain kolmeen.

Katsoitko verkkoliikennettä millään muotoa Red Starin osalta? Noin niin kuin perstuntumalta sen voisi kuvitella lähettävän jotain oleellista kivaa suuren johtajan tietolaariin.

Red Star OS vesileimaa jokaisen dokumentin, joka koneeseen kytketään, vaikka dokumenttia ei edes avattaisi.

The watermarking function was designed in response to the proliferation of foreign films and music being shared offline, says Mr Grunow. "It enables you to keep track of where a document hits Red Star OS for the first time and who opened it. Basically, it allows the state to track documents," he says.
