Dell to start selling computers with Ubuntu Linux

<< < (2/2)

shorthair:
Yah. I did more than imply some of my information was vague. In the stuff I read, only Negroponte was referenced, so it sounded largely like a single-person effort. In any case...

spystyle:
The $200 ASUS EEE is going to completely destroy that OLPC computer:

It looks great and ships with a very intuitive Linux. It's also allegedly compatible with XP (I would put TinyXP on it)

The thing I like about it is the intuitive interface. I own two "elderlys" and a child. Though my daughter is a computer whiz, I could give this laptop to the elderlys so they could "compute" like the rest of us technically savvy young folks.

Such an intuitive device is just what our complicated electronic market needs. A computer that anyone can use without reading any manuals or taking lessons.

and the price? $200, that's awesome!
