[ubuntu-uk] One Laptop per Child in Uruguay chooses linux

[Barry Titterton]

The government of Uruguay has chosen linux as the OS for the upgraded
OLPC device XO-HS. Uruguay already has 380,000 of the original machines
in its primary schools, and has now ordered 90,000 of the more capable
laptops for its secondary schools. The XO-HS is capable of running
Windows but the Uruguay government has decided to stay with linux. I
expect that this decision will have saved them several million pounds.
