[wplug] Everex Laptops from Wal-Mart

[Ian Robertson]

That is the 'One Laptop per Child' project. I have been reading about that off and on too. It looks like a very interesting project. The laptop.org link worked for me. I see they have a new image of what the laptop does (may?) look like.

It used to  be shown at www.laptop.org, but today I see  the domain is for sale and it is directed to techshopping.com for cheap  computers.  Oh well.  They have a link to several sites selling cheap  notebook computers.  Perhaps there is something of interest there.

I've been looking at these Everex laptops being sold at    Wal-Mart for around $500 - 15.4" screen (12800x800), CD-DVD burners, 512MB,    1.5-1.7GHz.  I think the StepNote was the one being marketed as the    "greenest" laptop on the market... Has anyone had any experience with these    laptops, in particular with running Linux on them? Not finding much on the web    about    it...
