Many governments have tried to abandon Windows. It is not only expensive, but due to its closed source nature can compromise national security. So far, there have been some successes. Pardus Linux has especially formed into a complete, easy to use, Windows replacement for Turkey; and Ubuntu Kylin is one of the most popular OS’s in China . Yet, there is one state sponsored Linux distro that has managed to slip under everyone’s nose. Nova Linux is a Cuba, Ubuntu based distro that has had its fair share of troubles through the years, but ultimately, seems to be doing pretty good. So, I, an American that doesn’t speak a lick of Spanish, gave it a whirl, and will explain some of the little quirks and benefits of this pretty cool, unique distro.

    Wikipedia (uncited) lists it as proprietary, for whatever that’s worth (not much). The repo is public but I haven’t seen source code or documentation really beyond the repo and the ISO links online but I don’t speak much spanish.

      If they share the source code upon request then it’s okay. It doesn’t strictly have to be publicly hosted somewhere. Though that would be preferable.
