Red Star OS spotted in North Korea
SOME DETAILS about North Korea's much rumoured Red Star operating system are slowly starting to emerge.
In late February a Russian blogger purchased and stripped down a copy of the operating system, detailing its features and requirements.
The blogger tells us that Red Star requires a Pentium III 800MHz CPU, 256MB RAM and a 3GB hard drive to run. It is Linux-based, but apes the Microsoft Windows look and feel. Red Star is not feature rich, but offers an apparent clone of the Firefox web browser, text, video and PDF viewers, image tools, a calculator and a handful of games.
