Buy OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Kids Laptop, Run Fedora Linux
On Amazon $399 will get you an OLPC just like the ones being used to help educate kids in impoverished nations. Since the OLPC is really only $199, your $399 actually buys two OLPC’s: one for you and one that is donated to a kid somewhere. Altruistic reasons aside, why would you want an OLPC? Because on top of being a good way to entertain your kids it has wireless, webcam that takes video and stills and a built-in web browser. It’s also hella durable and best of all you can run Fedora Linux on the OLPC via the SD card slot! Full OLPC specs after the jump.
