I'm on the list for getting one for $300 and they donate the other 2 somewhere else. Don't know if it will go through though. I don't think we'll get enough pledges.
The last video I saw of it running it was running a stripped down Fedora Core 5 install. |

why would olpc os hacking be touchy, assuming you are working on an open source os?
edit: I signed up

As is said before: OE support isn't the problem, the political side is. You could even use OE to build the linuxbios used, so software hackability isn't the problem. |
