South Korea Has Its Own Alternative to IBM's Proprietary RHEL
Owing to the Open Enterprise Linux Association (OpenELA)
Last week: statCounter: GNU/Linux Rises Sharply to All-Time High in Republic of South Korea
THERE is an announcement this week and some press coverage saying that "South Korean web giant Naver creates its own [GNU/]Linux distro"; we keep abreast of related articles as there will likely be more.
When it comes to search, Naver is now bigger than Google, at least in this country, based on statCounter:
Making one's own distro isn't particularly hard when one has the resources of Google. It's interesting that yet another Korean distro is now emerging. It's hardly the first and at least one was a collaboration between the north and the south, albeit that goes over a decade back.
"The distro draws from the Open Enterprise Linux Association's (OpenELA) resources and is RHEL-compatible," says The Register. So it's sort of like a RHEL clone. Many more emerged since IBM's attack on CentOS (i.e. on itself). █
