| This week the Elonex One, a Linux-based laptop costing less than £100, was
| launched at the Education Show in Birmingham causing much excitement amongst
| the visitors and a very serious discussion about how best to support this new
| breed of Linux laptops in schools.
|
| So much has changed so quickly that a model of Open Source school computing
| is emerging which could save the UK taxpayer billions of pounds and provide
| enormous opportunities for the home-grown technology sector based around Open
| Source software.
