Yay it's the 5000th distro.  
Seriously, at least it has a good chance of giving Red Hat and Suse a run for their money.  Always good to have competition, and now Mandrake is bankrupt they need more.

I think thats a Chinese government controlled thing.  (Which is why China also makes "magic flag" Linux or whatever the fuck it is.  This seems to be a new joint effort, unless China has decided to let Japan have input into the source the Chinese government uses which seems doubtful.

edit:
The original article suggests that this is a Linux distro, the Yahoo one says "open source OS *like* Linux."
Anyone know any more than that?  Which is it?

I can't wait to see it!

I hope it's not Turbo Linux, with new splash screens

If Japan can get some of their big companies involved I can see it being very impressive.

Red Flag Linux

and Turbo Linux
