    I'm surprised that this entry

    http://ashen-rus.livejournal.com/8466.html

    from the same blog didn't rate a story here. Now, it isn't just possible to look at screenshots of North Korea's Red Star Linux (as opposed to an OS of the same name from some Argentine leftists), you can actually download it!
