Installing Linux On ARM-Based Netbooks?
,----[ Quote ]
| For example, the Augen E-Go. It is a
| widely touted theory that it is impossible
| to install Linux on one of these
| notebooks, replacing the commonly
| installed Windows CE operating system. The
| sub-$100 netbooks carry decent specs,
| including 533MHz ARM processor; 128MB DDR
| RAM; and a 2GB Flash drive, as well as
| most expected netbook components (USB, Wi-
| Fi, etc.). I find it hard to believe that
| a computer with these specs is impossible
| to hack and install Linux to, but Google
| searches have been largely unsuccessful in
| finding proper information. Do any
| Slashdot readers have experience in
| installing ARM Linux distros to these
| cheap netbooks like this? If so, what
| distros do they recommend?

Will the '$100 laptop' project ever be considered a success?
,----[ Quote ]
| "The creation of the netbook market is
| largely, and appropriately, credited to
| OLPC," says Ed McNierney, Chief Technical
| Officer of OLPC. "We wouldn't have $300
| netbooks in the consumer market if that
| push from OLPC hadn't happened.

| The computers run the open-source Sugar
| software suite, marking a return to OLPC's
| roots after a flirtation with running
| Windows XP on its emblematic green-and-white
| XO laptops.
|
| Sugar is now developed by a separate
| organization, Sugar Labs, which also offers
| versions of its Activities software for
| Windows, or on a bootable USB stick running
| on top of a Linux kernel.
