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.

The last time I saw him he was walking down Lover's Lane holding his own hand.

Cough: COMPLETELY misleading "headline".
Welsh - nope
Linux Mint - so what
Terrorist - yes. Another "immigrant" "refugee" etc... showing his true colours.
Thing is now, can the collapsing "West"ern culture handle a bit of truth?
