Probably there is something in what you say about this site..... as to its favouritism for Linux, which I am actually happy about.
But for this article all the previous posts and discussions have been about the device and its cost, effectiveness in poor countries etc.,.... nobody ever talked about Linux in particular. Also for an open hardware design its natural to have a open source OS.
