Richard Stallman on OLPC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-not-literally-it-would-break dept.

memshankar writes "In an interview while he was in Hyderabad, India RMS praises for the One Laptop Per Child Project. He is even contemplating making a switch to XO, the flagship machine of the project, from his "old thinkpad". Stallman went on to say that the OLPC laptop has given people a way to use the free BIOS. He is, however dissatisfied with the wireless networking system used in the XO."

    He didn't call it GNU/OLPC?

    You sure they actually interviewed RMS?

    You imagine the mumbling and grumbling grumbling coming from RMS as he wields his soldering iron over a naked XO.

    Better than imagining the moaning and groaning coming from a naked RMS as he wields his iron soldier over an XO.
