Hi,

If I've been looking at the one laptop per child source code, and I'm 
amazed by how much stuff is available.  Better equipped for ABM stuff 
than a lot of full Linux distributions.   From Logo to Squeak to Mozilla 
XULRunner, it's all there.    Could use them for classes for grown ups, 
I would think.   The build tree is complex and well integrated -- it 
builds for hours and hours...
I've only run the thing virtually, and I guess my only reservation is 
that the laptop itself will be slow.  Anyone put hands on one?  Also, 
has anyone actually had TamTam to play sound?   That app seems 
especially well done.   Holiday season, you know..  :-)

Thanks,

Marcus
