Red Star OS 2.0 (North Korean/DPRK Linux Distro)

Skip to 2:28 if you don't want to see the installation messages:). Not much to see really, it's just linux with north korea spelling/terminology,5 games,mediaplayer and some Nk-custom stuff in the OS, major anti-climax dudes!.

If you want to try it then you can find it at the youknowwhich-gigantic swedish torrent tracker:).

And yeah I have absolutely no idea how to play GO or Shogi :).

This OS was designed to copy everything the user types in and receives and, upon a backdoor request, transmit this information to the North Korean police. Don't say I didn't warn you.

@douro20 We must assume that the average joe is bright enough to not use this as their main OS ;).

i'm surprised the OS didn't play some anthem crap as the startup sound

@runitecastle at least its better than vista

@NicksLocker Wait... they have Windows 7 over in the DPRK???

Theoretically, you could install all sorts of Linuxy stuff and get yourself a very personalized system. Besides that you could probably back hack it and break the police tracking, not like you're in N. Korea to be arrested.

Debian + KDE3 ;F

100% kernel is 2.6+

@ComradeZX ... It's made in north korea and available exclusively on north korea laptops along with windows 7...

I wouldn't recommend you try this considering that every single move you do is recorded and sent to the north korean police.
