I recently purchased a Genesi Efika MX smartbook
(https://www.genesi-usa.com/products/smartbook) and so far I'm
very impressed with it.
it only costs about $199 before shipping and it seems to have
enough power to outdo the XO-1 laptops that I have.
what do you think about the possibility of using the Efika as a
readily available alternative to the XO?
we might even be able to get it in a more ruggedized form if we
are lucky.
I have made an sd card image that boots directly into a sugar
desktop on the Efika MX if anyone is interested and already has
the hardware
once the kernel gets bumped past 2.6.31 I would like to try
getting 802.11s working on it to see if I can make it talk to my
other two XO-1s.
if you are interested I will post a link to the sd card image.
Yes, please share your good efforts with a reference and link in our
Supported Systems page,
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Supported_systems
Interested parties may discover the information there if they aren't
searching the mailing list.

As promised the link to get the Sugar demo is
http://steubentech.com/~talon/Efika-MX/
I will post an update to the wiki soon and move the discussion to the
sugar-devel list.
