Review of the North Korean distribution Red Star 3.0. Server version

Yesterday, some anonymous user of ThePirateBay laid out the distribution kit of North Korean production - Red Star 3.0. Earlier versions of this distribution were available before, but this version is relatively fresh, dated 12/12/2013.

The torrent file contains the rss3_32_key_gui_20131212.iso (817M) distbirutiv itself, the boot.iso hacked bootloader (37M), and the readme.txt

At first I tried to run the distribution in my favorite QEMU, however, for some reason, the installer did not go into the process of copying files, so I had to use VirtualBox.

Yes, you understood correctly, this is a serial number request. You need to run the installer via boot.iso, it contains a croaked loader, which does not check the serial number.

We get the IP address ...

You must enter the root password. The password must contain a capital letter, a number and a special character.

Ooo ...

Partitioning disk. I was afraid of manual marking and used automatic (the topmost point). Used LVM.

On the next screen we are offered to choose the packages that will be installed. Among them are Apache, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Java and others.

If we go into the “GUI” menu, we will be given a choice of: KDE, QT3 and QT4. I don’t really understand what exactly QT3 and QT4 give, so I chose KDE.

image
If you select the last two items (antivirus and virtualization tool) in the previous menu, you can set the GUI for them.

The process has begun ...

Loading ... loads very quickly, by the way, faster than typical distributions.

Login window. We drive in our root user and password.

Here is the desktop. Desktop applications are not very many: a browser (fork firefox 10), a PDF reader, a picture viewer, a GUI for QEMU, and an antivirus customizer.

Browser.

GUI to QEMU.

image
Supports both Linux

image
So is Windows.

Antivirus customizer. He wants from me the administrator's password, which I do not know. ROOT password is not suitable. The error message is issued exactly the same: "Enter the administrator password."

image
Input Pad. It opens on the “Noble names” section, in the first line it says: “Kim Il Sung Kim Jong Il Kim Jong Eun”

List of running processes.

Listen ports.

yum.conf. Nothing unusual.

Installed sachets.

Awesome wallpaper.

Somehow quite boring, I thought much ... much better that would be all. But very boring, just very boring. I thought it would be much better. How many times did the OS install! It was much better, but this time, somehow, it was not a deadlock ... Firstly, there are few applications, the OS is not very ...
