$100 MIT laptops will run Redhat / LeapFrog rule

I've been hearing a lot about the $100 laptops proposed by MIT, to be distributed to all children, but only decided to peruse the links now. The PCs are going to run Redhat's implementation of Linux, in keeping with the open source theme of the project. Apple had piched free copies of OS X, but it was turned down.

On that note, LeapFrog is da bomb. Several of my co-workers, in their late-20's and early-30's buy their kids these things, especially around this time. Their "toys" (I can't even bring myself to call them that, they're so useful) are really engineered well, and really do the trick of teaching kids. Were I a parent, I'd own stock and be a frequent customer. Must be how my parents felt about me getting a Nintendo.
