Russia's Operating System May Be Fedora Based

Posted by timothy on from the if-the-hat-is-red-wear-it dept.

Glyn Moody writes "Last month, a story about Russia producing its own national operating system based on GNU/Linux started circulating. Now there's some confirmation, and details of how the plan might be put into practice. Red Hat had a meeting with the Russian communications ministry, which announced that the development of free software in Russia was one of its priorities. One concrete idea they talked about was using the Russian Fedora project as a step towards creating a national operating system."

    At 10:28pm EST Rob Malda was rushed to the emergency room and was found to have a microscopic penis. Yes, folks, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, hero to many millions of slashdot nerds around the world, is hung like a 3 year old Asian boy.

      Because Hemos and I used to take showers with Rob in the locker room. We teased Rob mercilessly about his "wee-wee" and then he would say, "At least I can find my dick, you fat bastards!"

      Because he's a 3 year old Asian boy whose parents abandoned him in an internet cafe in Korea, where he will most likely die in his early 20's after playing WOW for 30 days, non-stop.
