RedStar OS 3.0 - Exploration and Experimentation - Part 3

Now that this thing is displaying in English, it's time for a little exploration and experimentation on how much this facsimile is like a real Mac and less like a heavily modified KDE + CentOS.

We are not connecting it to any network for security as we don't know what nasty surprises lurk in this machine now. We don't recommend you do try on your own either, especially if you care about your data. You have been warned.

We're also not providing any links to find the ISO image. Exercise your Google-Fu young grasshopper.

We borrowed RichardG's guide for installation and configuration.
