OLPC: Buy one, send one to the third-world

2007-09-24 Thread Ted Roche

Or, you can get a Koolu for $300. It has both Ubuntu and OLPC on it.

  Reading this line:

As Linus would say, World Domination.

  reminds me of a Robin Wiliams line from one of his standups..

Monopoly is a game senator.  I'm trying to take over the f** world..

But then you are getting *one* versus one for you and you for someone else.
Though the KoolU does look interesting in its own right.

Yes, the koolu is already on the Xmas wish list, although not for Sugar,

I've already got Sugar running on a Fedora ThinkPad via qemu:
