Submission + - Opera demonstrates OLPC at The Gathering
gloom writes: "The CTO of Opera Software, Håkon Wium Lie, demonstrated the "one laptop per child" (also known as OLPC) at the computer-party The Gathering, taking place this week in Norway. Read more here (pictures included).
"The laptop itself uses an 366 MHz AMD x86 processor and it 128 MB RAM (though, some models have 256) and a 512 flash memory. It does not have any hard drives — actually, there are very few moving parts on it at all, but more about that later. Red hat is making the Linux-based operating system for it, but in theory you should be able to install any distro that you want on it. It is also equipped with wifi and USB ports so that children can use electronic school books. It is also able to surf the web and do e-mails. The laptop is also equipped with a web-cam, and after Håkon demonstrated it to us, it turned out to be of decent quality as well.""
