Red Flag Linux: Real, and Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the love-the-uninstall-icon dept.

Over at NewsForge (NewsForge is part of OSDN, as is Slashdot), Roblimo has posted his impressions of the long-awaited, much-ridiculed Red Flag Linux (English version). It may not be a big seller outside of the Chinese-speaking world (despite the available English-language install), but it's not a hoax, and it's available as an ISO for download. Update from Roblimo: I did not write the NewsForge Red Flag review. Matt Michie deserves all credit for this excellent work.

    Correction:
    You do not work at Walmart nor do you own Walmart stock.

    Otherwise you don't work at Walmart stock, which doesn't make any logical sense from my perspective.

    Ah... The mentality of the average slashdot modders:

    1. A totally informative and cool headed post like the above gets 0 karma point.
    2. A skewered POV gets +5 karma.
    3. Reverse psychology has 95% success rate: a flamebait proclaiming itself to be not a flamebait, gets load of karma points.

    Wheeee!!!
