[nycbug-talk] FreeBSD.org Blocked in China

[Isaac Levy]

Hey All,

Interesting side-news:

I don't have a conformation of this (elsewhere on the web?), but on  
comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, it's been reported that FreeBSD has been  
blocked in mainland China due to the word 'free'.

Related sidenote:  For those who don't know already, the Chinese  
govt. officially (and actively, to my understanding) supports Red  
Flag Linux, which seems like a fairly unique Linux distro...
