here's an article about puppy & the OLPC laptop:

Puppy Linux, one of the smallest-footprint distributions available, has offered its services to the One Laptop Per Child project spearheaded by former MIT Media Lab head Nicholas Negroponte. OLPC plans to distribute laptops to children around the world for $100 apiece.

That's quite comprehensive, and more accurate than Stephen Shankland's blog of April 6, although of course that blog entry started it all.

I will therefore give desktoplinux.com praises for its very comprehensive reporting!

Michael Barnes, the guy who did a review of Puppy in that site, has been creating tiny PCs at norhtec.com, although I find his price a bit high. He seems uninterested in mass-producing his creations.

EDIT: This will serve as status report regarding the OLPC as well as other digital-divide initiatives.
