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.

Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

TFA said he was Welsh, so Welsh pronunciation ought to apply, oughtn't it? If not, you guys aren't doing it right. An old girlfriend of mine had the surname, "Schoon." When I met her I said, "That's interesting, because I would swear you look Chinese." "I am Chinese," she said, "My grandfather was given that name at Ellis Island. His surname had been 'Xun.'" Apparently the immigration officer had been of Dutch extraction, you see.
Washington DC delenda est.

I've heard that it's possible to recognise which system of romanisation a non-native speaker of Chinese learned with, by quirks of pronounciation.
