Slimmer Linux needed for $100 laptop:
The One Laptop Per Child organization… hopes to distribute 5 million to 10 million of the systems to children in India, China, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, Egypt, and Nigeria in the first quarter of 2007…. He hopes the project will help supply the world’s billion children with an education that undertrained teachers often can’t supply. “At least 50 percent of those children don’t get anything that even approximates what you and I would call an education,” he said.
That’s all well and good, but it is Orange.
