Re: User brings life back to old computer with Xubuntu

I'm enjoying exploring this OLPC.  What a cool device!

Unfortunately I have to wait a day before I get a "developer key" to unlock
the boot sequence.  The OLPC has a DRM'ed BIOS!  (But they provide an
upfront way to disable it.)

Turning off the backlight looks pretty interesting.  I can't wait to try it
out in full sunlight.
