A brief hands-on with the Intel Classmate PC (with Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| Lastly, I was reviewing this system in a Glasgow pub, and the patrons of the
| pub were very interested in seeing the Classmate PC in operation. This system
| has the potential to succeed and is already being tested for classroom use in
| Brazil and other places. Whether or not this same system could run Windows
| well or not remains to be seen, but the Mandriva install fits the bill rather
| well.
