Distrowatch, un popular sitio de información acerca de las diferentes distribuciones de Linux y BSD, en su último boletín semanal [1] hace referencia a la distribución cubana de Linux:
The last big news story of the week is the announcement that Cuba has launched their very own Linux distribution named Nova. The distribution is based on the popular source-based distribution, Gentoo Linux, which by its nature is extremely flexible and makes building a binary distribution relatively easy. Motivation for the distribution appears to be mostly centred around 'technological independence': "The Cuban variant, called Nova, was introduced at a Havana computer conference on 'technological sovereignty' and is central to the Cuban government's desire to replace the Microsoft software running most of the island's computers. According to Hector Rodriguez, dean of the School of Free Software at Cuba's University of Information Sciences, about 20 percent of computers in Cuba, where computer sales to the public began only last year, are currently using Linux." Hopefully the development of this distribution will also allow improvements to feed back into the Gentoo project, as well as the open source community at large.
