Re:Spain is a socialist country these days...
Maybe it developed with news like this:

Chinese President Hu Jintao also sent a message to the leader of the Cuban Revolution expressing his concern and the support of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, reports EFE news agency.
Spain's minister of Foreign Relations, Miguel Ángel Moratinos, and Venezuelan National Assembly President, Nicolas Maduro, also sent their wishes for a prompt recovery. -

Source of the story
Where did you get your information?
All the stories I found on this are from an AFP story which quotes a story by Cuban government daily Juventud Rebelde , which you can find here in Spanish. The Google translation which follows seems to hint they have already demo'ed their own distro, but that may be an automated translation vagary:Cuba is organizing the progressive migration of the computers installed in the organisms of the Central Administration of the State towards free software, on the base of the operating system Linux, eliminating therefore the almost exclusive presence of the Windows in the machines.
The news extended during a conference offered by Robert of the Port [Haha! "Roberto Del Puerto"], director of the Office for the Computerization of the Society[!], in III the Factory of Free Software, which took place during just finalized Convention the Computer science International 2005.
The operating system Linux, created in the decade of 1980 by Linus Torval, difference of similars like Windows, Microsoft, in which its source code totally is opened, and therefore can be modified and distributed by the user whichever times it wants.
The Island, that it has at the moment more than 1500 users of Linux and one community of strong developer in several provinces of the country, already counts also on its own distribution of Linux --un joint of programs grouped according to its benefits and quality -- that was presented/displayed yesterday.
In addition, the Office for Computerization has designed a strategy that includes/understands actions of organization, techniques, design of a legal frame, as well as the qualification and the gradual change of the systems of Windows to Linux.
The policy will be rectoreada by a National Group, that integrates among others the own Office, the ministries of Justice, the Interior, of Computer science and the Communications, the Network Telematics of Health (Infomed), the CUJAE, the Young Club and the University of Computer science Sciences. This last one, with more than 6 000 students, already has destined one of its faculties for the development of programs on Linux.
