Sec: Unclassified - Pitch Ubuntu at $100 wind up laptop?

"I reckon they refused using OS/X because it was not Open Source. We know
that Ubuntu is better than Red Hat, so yes, it would be nice if some effort
could be spent in this direction. :-)"

That's exactly what been reported on http://www.stuffmag.co.uk/hotstuffarticle.asp?de_id=787. 

My thought is that given the fact Ubuntu means "humanity to others", what better an operating system to put on a cheap laptop that is to be distributed to children of the third world countries? Particularly seeing that this includes parts of Africa, the place from which the word "ubuntu" originated.
