[News] Linux Laptop Already Shipping, Reaches Milestone (Stable Linux Build)

OLPC comes up with stable Linux build

,----[ Quote ]
| The Cambridge, Mass.-based project says it shipped about 2,500 test laptops 
| to eight nations last month. Earlier this month, OLPC shipped 100 machines 
| to children in a Nigerian test school, Bender said. 
| 
| The experiment was a prelude to mass production of the kid-friendly,
| lime-green and white laptops scheduled to begin in July, when 5
| million are scheduled to be built, according to Taiwanese laptop
| maker Quanta.
| 
| State educators in Brazil, Uruguay, Libya, Rwanda, Pakistan,
| Thailand, and possibly Ethiopia and the West Bank received the
| first of the machines in February's pilot prior to a wider
| rollout to Indonesia and a handful of other countries, according
| to the project.

And earlier this week Gates continued his anti-Linux crusade, signing a deal
to lock Linux out.
