The Cuban government this week launched its own Linux distribution, called Nova.
"The Cuban government, under the auspices of the Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas (UCI), created Nova by spinning its own rev on the Gentoo variant of Linux," writes The Register's Timothy Prickett Morgan. "Linux has become increasingly popular in South America, Africa and Eastern Europe, where companies and citizens aren't able to afford all of the latest Microsoft software," writes DailyTech's Michael Barkoviak. "Furthermore, the open source software can be freely distributed among friends and colleagues in these nations, which helps it spread faster than Microsoft can."
