User Feedback :: Perfect fit for DSL?

See article posted 9/24/07 in the Sacramento Bee by Brian Bergstein (AP) Cambridge Mass re Nicholas Negroponte of One Laptop Per Child Project running Nov 12 through Nov 26.

Wouldn't DSL be the ideal OS for this project?.
Hope this is the correct forum.

All the companies involved in this project are providing their best engineers: Marvell (who made the wireless chip) have their guys developing the firmware often directly according to the feedback they get from the kernel developers, Red Hat is providing plenty of sw engineers (including Marcelo Tosati, who was the 2.4 kernel maintainer!), AMD and Quanta are working on the hardware platform (recently they made efforts to track the power consumption of every single chip in the laptop), etc. This is just incredible how fast the teams are able to progress in such a cooperative environment. This is a sharp contrast with what happens too often in the ordinary Linux world where cooperation is sometimes difficult or inexistent (e.g. kernel developers unable to obtain hardware specs, or hardware vendors attempting to provide some crappy binary drivers without involving the kernel community, etc).

I put my name down for the "2 for 1" deal - i.e. you buy two of these things, one is donated and you get to keep the other.

...terrific for hooking up to your stationary bike; fitness centers should be looking into this (....reportedly, they can be powered by pedal generators).

FYI, while at Linux World, information on these machines were scarce even though their were plenty of machines. John and I were not able to see if these machines could even boot/run DSL. I suspect that they are using the JFFS2 which would be very different from DSL. So buyer beware. Could be challenges ahead.
