the real question is do you understand Korean ? because red star is only available in Korean ?
That doesn't matter, I would click on what looks correct. Just want to try it out, that's all
can't you just run in your local machine or your friends ? (?_?)
Monitored by my school, you're welcome
I blocked all outgoing connection back to the school servers, but its not a long term solution for sure.
I wouldn't bother trying it on my friends', since the school would block VirtualBox afterwards (since they see what apps we use)
damn didn't knew school this days monitored so much ? that's worst than NSA I guess
Most schools do this, even with BYO devices.
Best thing, they didn't even tell us they were doing that. I did tons of research, since I have sudo, found out what was happening, etc.
Leaked out all these info, plus removal steps (because the IT admin was incompetent as hell), and they almost took this as a reason to take me out from my multiple leadership positions.
It's basically incompetent people running a shady operation.
Probably still has less spying features than Windows 10...
Seems to me that the easiest way to go with trying a desktop OS like this is to put it on a free desktop. Surely it will run on a throwaway P4.
Microsoft is more or less turning into apple. Buy for each addon which should have been a feature .
@rockbelthost scammed me, don't buy
LOL bro i know who u r >.>

You said free hosting, you told me to pay!

Ever heard of disconnecting
?
Ever heard of experiencing the public internet like a North Korean?
@theroyalstudent, are you in India or? Because that is the first time I've heard of a school giving out Linux machines. Unless it's OSX.
Just spin up it in your own VM. Using Virtual Box or what so ever. First disconnect your connection so it cannot ping back their mom ! After testing, destroy VM and re connect.
Singapore. My website (in sig) says which school I'm from
MacBook Air for every student. Comes with Microsoft Office etc, whatever we need to do work collaboratively.
Now, bundled with spyware!
EDIT: We paid for it.
True, but I don't need any traces of North Korean bs on my computer though, since its from my school
)
I might drag out my shitty AIO (i3 w/ 4GB RAM) and try, hope it works.
Yes, I remember when I didn't use the internet.
Why you'd want to spin up an OS that will: make little to no sense or use to you, likely phones home to nefarious IPs, and has the usability of CloudFlare / LET's over-protective WAF filtering is beyond me, and likely a few others.
To each their own. Once done, delete that machine & IP quick. Be prepared to get a talking to from your ISP if they start to happy-slap the IP if the calls home weren't completely removed on the version you get.
If I was in DevOps, I'd probably md5sum the known ISO versions of Red Star and pop a trade sanction notice when it was being tried to mount & a ticket open for billing to review the account associated with such. Just shady.
It would surely work. Seems like it's pretty low spec hungry OS. (Check Wiki page screenshot)
Are you only allowed one computer in Singapore?
Nope. I don't have the money right now to get another computer right now, though.
Saving up
I have another computer that runs on Ubuntu / Windows 10, but its pretty slow.
I see. Will check that sooner or later. Thanks.
I think there must be lots of people who throw away their old computers in Sinagapore just like in Canada. I use free computers for secondary stuff. They're only slow for certain tasks, and of course I don't use them for that. General desktop Linux runs fine and fast enough on really old computers - I know from experience.
Anyway, we all have different tastes.
My AIO (HP Pavilion 20") runs just fine on Ubuntu actually, I installed all my dev stuffs on it, but then abandoned it because:
WiFi sucks big time (only n, my home network is capable of ac)
My eyes started hurting after working on it for a few hours, I can usually last double of that duration on my MacBook Air before taking a break.
But after all, it is still a computer that I would use if I ever need Windows (esp for flashing phone software, etc).
anyway, free computers sound really good.
most peeps here just sell them off for some money haha, unless its really broken.
Man... We've 1000's of students who're unable to purchase even a small pentium 4 computer.![:\](https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
