Pretty cool, I think. May somewhat bring the prices of Dells down. Well, probably not, but one can dream...

a friend of mine is a linux nut and hes quie impressed they went with ubuntu

I have heard that Linux boxes cost the same, or possibly more than identical hardware preloaded with Windows, because the Linux boxes ship completely clean aside from the apps that come with Ubuntu like OpenOffice and Firefox, while Windows boxes ship with all kinds of lame AOL ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and stuff like that preinstalled, which Dell gets paid for. If that's true, it's too bad and takes away a little bit of the appeal of having a free OS for the general consumer.

You may remember that guy who wanted to make $100 laptops available for all children in America? Well, he's doing that in Eastern Europe or some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, instead.

I'm thinking that by "that guy" you mean this sampling of the large group of people at OLPC and by "all children in America" you mean all children in the world, and by "Eastern Europe" you probably mean quite a few third world countries including Rwanda, Uruguay, Libya, Nigeria, and Thailand.
