This is kind f cool – kind of the desktop version of OLPC (kind of not actually!).
Walmart has started selling this sub USD200 desktop jam-packed with google apps and FOSS stuff. It comes prelaoded with;
- Linux OS
- Gmail
- Google Docs & Spreadsheets
- Google Calendar

- Google YouTube
- Google Maps
- Google News
- Meebo
- GIMP
- Firefox
- Xing Movie Player
- RhythmBox
- Faqly
- Skype

OK OK Some of those aren’t preloaded as they’re SaaS but it’s got nicely set up links to them anyway.
Computing for the masses…..
