One Laptop Per Child

The one laptop per child project has been in progress for some time now, and the XO laptop product is finally becoming available. Until November 26th, in the US and Canada, you can get one for your child and also donate one to a child in a developing country for only $400.

Give one, get one.

Here's a blurb about the machine: "The XO laptop runs on Linux, a free and open-source operating system. OLPC’s commitment to software freedom gives children the opportunity to use their laptops on their own terms. The children—and their teachers—have the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software, hardware, and content. There’s even a button located on the keyboard that allows children to view the programming behind certain applications. The XO laptop’s revolutionary interface, Sugar, also promotes sharing and learning."
