What's the point of red flag linux? Is it just for better asian language/font support? 24.155.227.237 05:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

-- Probably just to put out a certain feel/environment that is felt to be comfortable or familiar to some Chinese user set. Note the parallels to NT.


How many langauges is this in? I see only Chinese and Japanese in the pictures. Is there an English version?

I find it somewhat curious that a Chinese operating system would default to Japanese. Are you sure that second screenshot is the "default" KDE setup, or has there been some mixup? --203.206.128.174 01:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] speculation

Is there a source for this speculation? "Its name can be interpreted as a pun toward U.S.-based Red Hat Linux, coupled with a reference to the red flag of communism in China", if not it needs to be removed.--Crossmr 20:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, it seems pretty obvious to me. --Explodicle 15:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
