he said he used a netbook _AND_ a windows 7 64x host. Sure, it may be confusing to some to name a piece of hardware followed by a piece of software, but the rest of us understood that he meant "a netbook and a normal computer". Sorry you're a bit slow, no one's perfect.

Well, down the line he also said that ...

On the flip side, I can run Windows 7 x32, Windows 7 x64, and even Windows XP x32 on the netbook, and won't have any of the issues I see with Ubuntu.

So it seems, that he is able to run a Win7 x64 on THE netbook (I guess it is the EeePC 1005HA). Quite an achievement.

klaasb writes "North Korea's self-developed computer operating system, named 'Red Star,' was brought to light for the first time by a Russian satellite broadcaster yesterday. North Korea's top IT experts began developing the Red Star in 2006, but its composition and operation mechanisms were unknown until the internet version of the Russia Today TV program featured the system, citing the blog of a Russian student who goes to the Kim Il-sung University in Pyongyang."
