Linux NEWS: One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)

One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is an initiative to build a low-cost laptop computer with a pre-installed operating system and applications designed for children in developing countries. The operating system is a Linux-based solution, a heavily customised edition of Fedora Core with a special graphical user interface called Sugar.

sugar seems to available via apt ... Do you fancy trying it out on pinguy ?

Here's an ambitious task for you Spatry... After installing sugar - create a user that is kiosked to using sugar only - maybe add some nanny rules too.

One done, pass me your configuration files as I'm too lazy to work it out for myself - LOL !
