[nzlug] Laptops sans OS possible:

[Craig Box]

On the subject of cheap Linux laptops, OLPC are currently running a "give
one, get one" scheme: http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/give-one-get-one.php.
The gist is pay $400US, give one laptop to a developing nation, and get one
for yourself.  I believe this may be the only way members of the public can
get one of these machines, at least initially.  Unfortunately it's only
available in the USA and Canada.

If anyone is interested, I am in Canada at present, and would be happy to
deliver one or two on behalf of people in NZ.  I'll be back there in early
Jan, which should hopefully be just after delivery.  Please contact me
off-list and I'll see what I can do.
