Red Star OS (Chosŏn'gŭl: 붉은별; MR: Pulgŭnbyŏl) is a North Korean Linux operating system. Development started in 1998 at the Korea Computer Center (KCC). Prior to its release, computers in North Korea typically used Ubuntu.
Version 3.0 was released in the summer of 2013, but as of 2014[update] version 1.0 continues to be more widely used. It is only offered in a Korean language edition, localized with North Korean terminology and spelling.
Red Star OS features a modified Mozilla Firefox browser titled Naenara used for browsing the Naenara web portal on the North Korean internet network known as Kwangmyong. The word Naenara means My country in Korean. Naenara comes with two search engines. Other software includes a text editor, an e-mail client, audio and video players, and games. Version 3, like its predecessor, runs Wine, a piece of software that allows Windows programs to be run under Linux.
