South Korean Government to Switch from Windows to Linux

babakandishmand: "Curious if they'd roll out their own distro."

thewhitetulip: "That will be too much work. Why not use well maintained existing distros?"

kijin: "Because this is [South] Korea, and there's always someone trying to milk the taxpayers' money by offering to develop a "Koreanized" product that is "specialized" for government tasks. Even if it's just Ubuntu with a custom theme and slightly different Wine defaults.

I'd bet 5,000 won that they won't even contribute their translation fixes (i.e. their only positive contribution to the world) upstream. They will also rather go out of business than to follow the LTS cycle and keep their distro up to date. It has happened before. It will happen again."
