Re: OLPC/eepc and FIRST
A friend of mine got an EEEPc the week it came out, and before he even started it, he came over to my house, and we installed ubuntu 7.10 on it. after a little bit of frustration with the wireless and the screen resolution, we got everything working and the machine runs absolutely beautifully. I can easily see this thing used for in FIRST. I wouldnt imagine the 7" screen would be good for programming, but im not a programmer and really wouldnt know. I would imagine though that this thing would be perfect for scouting, and would be a great tool in the scout's bags.
