Here in my country is happening the FISL http://fisl.softwarelivre.org/8.0/www/?q=en they finally show the $100 dollar laptop for children.. the machine have 512mb of memory, more 512mb of flash rom, resolution of about 1000x900 keyboard and mouse ..... they have been in testing for some months now... the children sure approve ... Red Hat has yet the operating system, and expect a small footprint of "gnome" to run on the unit.http://www.escolabr.com/portal/uploads/img462041309c410.jpg.. The govern is expect to buy and distribute the machine by the "milions" (about 3milion units/year)... only in Brazil May be I will have 2 in my hands next week.. With a market of about 8 milion units (in -3 years) of a machine that does not runs windows.. I think it will run BSD (netbsd/freebsd) have wireless sound and camera, small footprint, lightweight.... It is the dawn of an era of market where only open source software... Any educational program or "thing" that fits on that computer will be bought by the govern in milion units... and of course will cost much less than the "commercial" solution we have today...
