'붉은별'과 밥

 

Well, there are still some folks among us who feel obliged to promote N.K. stuff  in the "progressive"/independent media, such as IMC S.K.
The latest hype produced in the the Dear Leader's kingdom and promoted by some writers:
"N.Korea's brandnew linux operating system: Red Star"


"Not only does North Korea have 'its own Internet' – a national information network independent from the US-based Internet regulator – it also has an operating system, developed under by order of Kim Jong-il."
, the IMC S.K. piece (actually it's just a copy of a report published in the Russian RT) says.
"Russian student Mikhail, who studies in the Kim Il-sung University... bought his copy for about $5 in an information center 5 minutes walk from the university dorm."


Wow, ONLY $5??!!


But - surprise, surprise!! -
"The OS is not popular (yet?)", according to the article.


The possible reason - IMO - why it's "not popular (yet?)":
- The average N.Korean worker making 2,500 (NK)won a month
- Last week's exchange rate USD-won: 1 : 2,500
- The current price of 1 kg rice: 1,300 won in Pyongyang (in other parts of the country: up to 1,500 won)


Ultimately I'm sure that the average worker - as a citizen of the "Paradise of the Working Class"(!) - doesn't cares about "Red Star OS", because he/she can't even dream about an own computer...
