Re: [ubuntu-uk] £7 laptop in india - runs Linux
i dont think its going to be that cheap. Especially in a country where a cheapy crappy basic of the shelf nokia will cost you at least Rs2000. Thats like £15 or something! :) 2009/2/9 Chris Rowson christopherrow...@gmail.com On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 8:52 PM, Paul Sutton zl...@zleap.net wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yay http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1134609/India-set-launch-worlds-cheapest-laptop--7.html Paul - -- Paul Sutton I'm a wee bit dubious about that claim lol!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] £7 laptop in india - runs Linux
Read about this in the guardian a while back. I agree with chris - any laptop would probably be worth more than that even as scrap. 2009/2/9 Paul Sutton zl...@zleap.net: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yay http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1134609/India-set-launch-worlds-cheapest-laptop--7.html Paul - -- Paul Sutton www.zleap.net Support Open and ISO standard file formats ISO 26300 odf http://www.odfalliance.org Next Linux User Group meet : March 7th : 3pm, Shoreline Cafe Paignton -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmQl6gACgkQaggq1k2FJq0toACdHneha2M68D86o77VX+aiRXxk ZaAAnjylmJHCTeouiPZyz/xDZ6HBh86N =El/U -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

$10-laptop proves to be a damp squib http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Hyderabad/10-laptop_proves_to_be_a_damp_squib/articleshow/4072417.cms Picture here http://i.gizmodo.com/5145998/indias-10-laptop-basically-a-big-dumb-joke 2009/2/10 David King linux...@avoura.com From listening to a recent PC Pro podcast, this £7 laptop is not a laptop at all, but just an external storage device of some kind to attach to existing computers. Whatever it is, it will probably have an embedded OS based on Linux. But please do not believe everything you read in the Daily Mail.
