Ubuntu and Back Again, a Scenic Journey
,----[ Quote ]
| The result really surprised me in the end, but i have to say that Fedora is
| the best distro i've put on the EEE so far! The perfect tradeoff between
| speed and beauty ( with KDE 4.1 ), they have really done a fantastic job of
| making sure that the core elements are provided without losing any
| performance. I still need to retry Mandriva and openSUSE 11.1 ( not that
| factory nonsense ) to be fair, but i'm not convinced that they will be able
| to dethrone Fedora.

Linpus is Fedora based as well and so is OLPC. Linux is big on sub-notebooks,
even when faced against $5 Windows (yes, just $5).

| The launch of the netbook was also aided by the progression of Linux,
| allowing vendors to cut out the cost of the operating system as well as
| customise it to offer a very basic and simple to navigate interface.

Fedora 10, a "Live" solution for One Laptop Per Child.
,----[ Quote ]
| When One Laptop Per Child starts their next Give 1 Get 1 program on November
| 17th, there will be an option to purchase an upgrade that will allow users to
| run a standard Linux desktop based on Fedora 10, on their XO system
| (pronounced "ex - oh"). This special edition of Fedora 10 is an alternative
| for adults who may not find the child focused graphical interface called
| Sugar practical for daily use. With this "Live" release the Fedora Project is
| once again highlighting a fantastic feature unique to modern Linux
| distributions.

23,000 Linux PCs forge education revolution in Philippines
,----[ Quote ]
| Providing high school students with PCs is seen as a first step to preparing

| cannot afford to provide computing facilities so after a successful
| deployment of 13,000 Fedora Linux systems from a government grant, plans are
| underway to roll out another 10,000 based on Ubuntu.
