Cuba Launches Own Linux Variation
willclem writes "According to Reuters, it seems that Cuba has launched its own variation of Linux in order to fulfill its government's desire to replace Microsoft operating systems. 'Getting greater control over the informatic process is an important issue,' said Communications Minister Ramiro Valdes, who heads a commission pushing Cuba's migration to free software."
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.
I'll bet money that our government has spying code built into official Windows copies as well as pirated versions. It was actually to our strategic benefit that Cuba continued to use proprietary software.
Hiding spy like code within Linux distros will be far more difficult as the OS is transparent.
We can only hope that people are running a lot of proprietary games or other software in which our codes can do their thing in Cuba. We do know that in the past some very good espionage materials have been hidden within printers.
he's in talks with castro right now. he can't wait to get his dick in the white mans ass.
>Cuba isnt any threat to the safety of the world or anything...
Not very long ago, Cuba targeted the United States with armed nuclear missiles. The people who have been in power in the United States since that time, still carry quite a grudge over that incident. It is of course open to debate, but the status quo most certainly does hold Cuba as a very serious threat.

Cuba has always been the shining star among the dark empires of the world when it comes to the freedom and happiness of its people. Adopting its own Linux distro goes directly along with the spirit of complete freedom that gives every aspect of life there its character.

I agree. We're not immune in Europe, though. Here it's "racism". The next Hitler will not be caused by neonazis. He will be caused by the rabid bleeding hearts who stifle all conversation about trying to solve refugee problems. Anyone who doesn't agree that it's 100% the white man's fault and that the only solution is even more taxpayer money is mercilessly labeled a racist.
At some point, people are going to wake up and vote for the worst racist they can find in retaliation. I really hope rational debate makes a comeback before then.
I'm pretty sure if any of those boats make it from Cuba to Florida that the Coast guard machine guns the people to death, so I really don't see any difference.
The US and Cuba both kill refugees.
It makes perfect sense. A Communist dictatorship would naturally prefer a similarly Communist OS.
