Mistake (if they are using vanilla RedHat), they should use DSL (Damn Small Linux) or a lightweight BSD. for these boxes. Or they could make the kids 1337 and give them WHAX.

Mistake (if they are using vanilla RedHat) For a laptop to cost only $100, I'd buy several. I couldn't care less if it used Vanilla or even Windows Millenium, I'd still get it. Well, okay, maybe not with Millenium, but pretty much anything else.

Desktop Linux is a cruel thing to inflict on a child. But it least it will have better security than Windows.

--I would like to know what makes Messachusettes so special to get these laptops, (Aside from the obvious point that their a bunch of liberal commies-), i know alot of parents that could use them for their kids to learn in the (tm)Peoples republik of california. All kids should be able to have access to them.

1GB Flash Ram and they still come in under $100? The last time I looked, 1GB was in the $80 range by itself.

Right 128 mb ram is too low for red hat these days. And not just RH. Suse, Fedora, Mandriva, etc. Even the small-bore Vector SOHO finds it tight. They must be talking a custom distro build based off fedora, since fedora is a branch from RH.

Actually, just have 'em run Slax. With the MySlax Creator, it's possible to customize Slax enough to suit most basic needs.
Though Whax isn't a bad choice either, and from what I read, it's just as customizable.
