Linux Mint terrorist Samata Ullah has been jailed for eight years by Cardiff Crown Court.
Ullah, as we reported on Friday, was caught with, among other things, a USB cufflink loaded with a copy of the Linux distro.
The former insurance worker pleaded guilty to five terrorism charges, including being a member of Islamic State and two charges of possessing terrorist material.
Vice's Motherboard offshoot had a look round his "basic Wordpress" blog aimed at promoting Islamic State propaganda. They noted that police investigators seized more than 6.1 terabytes of data from his Cardiff home.
Pronunciation tip: the 'll' in 'Ullah' is a voiceless lateral fricative.

Security is in how you use it. I seriously doubt that the arrested radical with 6.1TB of data to seize (what is he storing, pornographic training videos?) was doing anything securely, but at least Mint doesn't "pry" into your potentially secure practices the way a commercial OS might.
