Red Star OS (Korean: 붉은별; MR: Pulgŭnbyŏl) is a North Korean Linux distribution, with development first starting in 1998 at the Korea Computer Center (KCC). Prior to its release, computers in North Korea typically used Red Hat Linux,[6] and later switched to modified versions of Microsoft Windows with North Korean language packs installed.[7]
Version 3.0 was released in the summer of 2013, but as of 2014[update], version 1.0 continues to be more widely used.[citation needed] It is only available in Korean, localized with North Korean terminology and spelling,[8] although it is possible to change the language on the BIOS boot menu, or by modifying the disk image.[9]
