$150! i knew i heard about them before. they are made with the intention of every schoolchild in the world being able to afford one. so that means in the future they’ll even get cheaper.
I was excited about that link too until I read the comments and found this:

Also, the laptop runs linux, which I have just switched to (again) at home, but this time for good. Ubuntu 7.10 - everything worked like a charm pretty much off the bat, and the Compiz Fusion window manager makes Vista look like Windows 3.1.
Just can’t get triplea to work yet :( …
Is Linux Navy proof? In other words, would your average ONI (officer of naval intelligence) be able to figure it out within, say, an hour like windows?
Ubuntu 7.10 is I think easier than Windows in a lot of ways. Haven’t really hit any snags. It comes with pretty much any desktop software the average user would want pre-installed (Office, E-mail, Browser, Media player) and if you want to add anything, you just click on the main menu - Add/Remove - choose your category of software, and install it!
Except TripleA, which is weird because I had that working on an older version of Ubuntu. I may have installed the wrong version of Java? Who knows.
