Another OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project came true

More recently, 160 children of one of the schools of the modest town of Cardal, located in southern Uruguay, have already received the well-known "$ 100" laptops running the Linux operating system. The presentation of the training computers to the students was conducted by the president of Tabaré Vazquez himself.

The government allocated $ 15 million for the implementation of the OLPC project, and therefore by 2009 it is planned to provide every Uruguayan student with a laptop. Unfortunately, there are no photos of this joyful event, for that is, a small YouTube video:



Interestingly, the XO-1 (that is the name the "100-dollar" computer has) has not yet been selected as a laptop for the implementation of the entire project. Fight for the right to become elected: Intel, with their Classmate PC , and ITP-C made in Israel . In one of the conferences, Esteban Galluzzi, Intel's manager went so far as to equate the XO-1 with Pentium II, and emphasized that Intel's Classmate PC is capable of running Windows XP.
