Slightly offtopic regarding the OLPC. Did it occur to you that f.e. the Kohjinshas http://www.kohjinsha.com/ and rebranded Cathenas http://www.dataevolution.com/cathena_cx_info.htm are almost nothing more than the OLPC http://laptop.org/laptop/hardware/specs.shtmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode_(processor)#Geo de_LX with different storage subsystems, consumergrade casings and different, albeit small displays? Intended initial cost for the OLPC was about 100 USD, now it reached about 170 USD. Compare that with the price for the Kohjinshas. Do some calculations for the difference between small formfactor but larger capacity HDDs and Flash based media, and the different displays. Where would be the difference in (mass)manufacturing costs between a more rugged case which is intended for being handled by childs hands under hard conditions and a case which is more appealing to geeks? Seems like someone has a great win as spin-off from the OLPC for hardware which has been commercially unsuccessful so far. Should i feel f*beep*ed by lacking consumerfriendly (pricewise) availability for this interesting stuff? They have cryptosupport similar to VIAs Padlock integrated and supported by Linux. I just want these boards in Mini/Nano/Pico-ITX for no more than say about 80 USD, as an alternative to VIA EPIA which is overrated, i think.:-)
After seeing the nerd herd bleating about the unavailability of some feautures the non-open edition has, i'm wondering why no of you supercoders sits down and marries this with this? http://www.nomachine.com/developers.php
RDP? Who needs theds that? Come on, code! (And give me something which blows the rest out of the water);->
