bonch writes "Steve Jobs offered Mac OS X free of charge to the $100 laptop effort by the One Laptop Per Child project. However, his offer was declined because the project was looking for a 100% open source solution. The laptops will now be running on Red Hat Linux on AMD chips."

    There are 3 sentences in the entire (quite long) article about Steve Jobs and Mac OS X. It has virtually nothing to do with the article.

    Yet... the Slashdot headline is "Jobs offers free OS X for $100 laptops". That's true and all, but it's hardly what this article is about.
