From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anything thats not made in America.
What kind of point is that ? Are there any problem with chinese distro ?
Chinese distros have backdoors for the Chinese government, intel and amd processors have backdoors for the US government
Are there any proof of that ? (Chinese distros having backdoors).

I would not trust a CIA backed Linux distro either, proof or not.
