So, this isn't exactly breaking news. There was a review posted of it (albeit in Russian) over a month ago. While in Russian, it does have lots of screenshots (http://ashen-rus.livejournal.com/4300.html http://ashen-rus.livejournal.com/4300.html). I'm not so familiar with KDE to recognize which apps everything are in Korean, but it looks like a pretty standard KDE Linux installation with Firefox, office programs, etc. Since that blogger got a hold of it, I'm sure it's available outside of North Korea, but I wouldn't want it on my machine. It's noted that it's not completely stable and I'm guessing it doesn't measure up to Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, or any of the well-polished Linux distributions that we're used to. It's an interesting idea - that an authoritarian regime would use a freely modifiable OS to create something it probably wants very closed. The question is whether they have the ability to make all their people use it (or if that's their goal at all).
