Latest news: four countries have decided to each place an order of 1 million units. This is the greatest support for the OLPC plan. OLPC stands for One Laptop per Child, which is an association that has also launched a "computer for everyone" program. In other words, they are manufacturing laptops priced at 100 dollars, which will be purchased by governments and distributed for free to children in impoverished areas. OLPC uses an open hardware design, and Redhat has customized a Linux operating system specifically for it. As a charitable project, it may not only transform the educational model in impoverished regions but also trigger a reshuffling of the industry.
