Hello SuSE folk,
Since this is an international list I thought many of you would not see this. I thought it is important for you to know. It was a newspaper article in the St. Petersburg Fl. Times.
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has developed a very innovative and rugged $100 dollar laptop for children which is to be mass produced and runs Linux. Within a year 5 to 15 million will be produced for children in Brazil, China, Egypt, Thailand, and South Africa.
Within a few years 100 to 150 million will be made and distributed to children all over the world. The State of Massachusettts will purchase 500,000 next year to distribute to their school children. To see the entire article visit the folowing URL.
