Comment From a Linux guy from Cuba.... (Score 1) 494
Three years a go, i was between the few appointed to the "National Free-Software Transition Technical Group".
Its all about politics in the end.. nothing about the software, NOVA is a lab experiment, a toy, never tested/ just ripped from ubuntu / knoopix a couple of cosmetics changes like a star screen and here we go..!! lets move the world and the news with lies.. (again).
In a country with NO free internet access, (we had a huge squid denying almost everything...) what is this all about? there are other stolen_distros inside Cuba, like caiman (1)
The whole point is "we did something!!!" by the way... ALL the software INSIDE nova is Gentoo based... just copied / compiled / served from UNITED STATES!!! not a single line of "local_code"...
I voted for DEBIAN when the debate was a about choosing a distro, but the government prefer to tell the lie.. make the story .. so decide to go for Gentoo, copying from other wana_be_communist distros like UTUTO from argentina. Just another castro-style lie to enforce the moral and achievements of the jail island.
Here is the link to LINUX CUBA... here is what people and Linux users in Cuba really think about "nova".. ;)
