| I commend the Amarok team for choosing something that supports libre codecs

| demonstrating leadership in a market dominated by cowards and lemmings. Now,

,----[ Quote ]
| After the kids have their say, and necessary changes are made, the
| nonprofit group One Laptop Per Child (OLPC at www.laptop.org) plans to ship
| 5 million XOs around the world by the end of 2007, a first installment
| toward reaching the 1 billion school-age children now growing up in the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| developing world. The machines will be built by Quanta Computer in Taiwan.

| [...]

| Inside, the operating system is based on Linux open-source software,
| ignoring both Windows and Mac. Instead of folders on the opening
| screen, students see a figure representing a child (an X with an
| O over it, hence the "XO") surrounded by a circle of icons
| showing what activities are in use. The system also includes
| an Internet browser, a word processor, games, and a toolkit
| for a wide variety of musical activities.
