One Laptop Per Child Changes Developing Nations with New Linux XO-3 TabletThu, 19 Jan 2012 14:24:23 +0000
 |
Announced only a week ago, watch to see how Linux is making a real difference in underdeveloped nations. Learn more: one.laptop.org and http In many countries around the world, technology is a luxury most cannot afford. One group is helping the situation through a program called OLPC - One Laptop Per Child. This program provides children, who would otherwise likely never see computers or other tech gadgets, with a cost-effective, rugged laptop powered by solar energy and running the free Fedora Linux distribution. These laptops have made an incredible impact on the lives and future of millions of children. This program really speaks to me; it was a privilege for me to sit down with Marvell, makers of the processor & other chips found in the OLPC XO-3 tablet. www.marvell.com Photo credits: One Laptop Per Child, Original Model - www.flickr.com OLPC Students India: www.flickr.com and OLPC Love - www.flickr.com |

I support Open Source, so why do I use Windows? on.fb.me Why not create more advanced tutorials? And, why make tutorials about things that are so easy? Answers: In short, I use operating systems and software as tools, so I choose the right tool for the job. I'm not a political activist, and while I love the principles behind the Open Source Initiative I will continue to use the software that best meets my needs. I make tutorials that I think will be engaging and useful to the new Ubuntu/Linux user; there are a number of wonderful YouTube members who make excellent in-depth Linux tutorials if that's what you're looking for.
