Just found this article:

"the British company Elonex is launching the country’s first sub £100
computer later this month and hopes to be making 200,000 of them by the
summer."
....
"So how can Elonex make a computer for so little? ....
The secret is simple: open-source software. The One runs on Linux, which
is a rival to Windows but completely free to use."
....
"Elonex will be launching the computer at the Education Show at the NEC
in Birmingham at the end of this month, and is targeting schools as
potential buyers."
The elonex website seems to be down at the moment:
http://www.elonex.co.uk
So, anyone going to the Education Show? Anyone have any idea what distro
it will be running?
