Cuba launches own Linux variant to counter U.S. (Reuters)

There are some very significant principled failings of the Cuban
Government, many arising with its reliance on a cult of personality
and the lack of plural political voices. But it is not so wholly
owned by money as our U.S. client states throughout the region,
many of which have killed tens of thousands of their own citizens
through militias propped and trained (often at Fort Benning, Georgia)
by the U.S. in defense of its corporations. It has a higher literacy
rate and a lower infant mortality rate than those regimes, *despite*
the ongoing destabilization of its economy by the U.S., actions which
if undertaken against us by a parity-equivalent rival would be considered
acts of terrorism if not war.

I'd like to know more about this derivative. If it's merely a
Debian (or equivalent) remix with some branding, what's the harm?
Certainly less damaging than Ubuntu's, because they won't have the
manpower to do such widely-divergent forks nor the advertising to
(effectively) steal the thunder and make it appear they invented it.
Many corporations make their own internal mini-remixes, and in fact
you could say the same thing about any pre-installed netbook with
branding and the like. Unfortunately I am unable to understand enough
of the spanish to determine if that sort of level of detail is even
available yet.

News about a Russian Distribution have surfaced a number of times in the past, and then it seems to have been based on AltLinux.

Right now we basically hear that such a distribution exist. But not even a screenshot.
