Anytime I see an olpc and the mention of sugar, I think of System of a Down.

I play Russian roulette everyday, a man’s sport,
with the bullet called life, yeah mama called life (sugar).

Don’t ask me why.

miked hasnt approved or disapproved of this post yet.

on the other hand, 256mb for XP isn’t too bad, wait till they try running vista.

XOs look nifty, but they lack the horsepower for most power users. the AMD geode in there doesn’t quite cut it IMHO, even running lightweight GUIs like XFCE.

no offense miked_hater, but how is your spamming any different than miked’s? If you have some qualm with his actions, by all means, elaborate, but counter trolling is still trolling in itself.

if they got XP to boot, they can get Windows 2000 to boot, and 256mb is PLENTY of RAM for Win2k. Install Win2k on one of these, and they we will talk.

Not sure I would agree with you wolf — maybe the site admin is trying to decide whether to ban Miked or not, and seeing dozens of “we hate miked” comments would sway him towards booting the little dickwad. I know which way I’d cast my vote…

On the same topic, why aren’t we seeing the “full” Weblogs Inc comment system as used on Engadget etc? I have to do confirmation emails for every comment, plus we can’t “report” comments like the ones we’re talking about in an automated fashion.

l approve of this post.

gh0stly:

Agree, if win2k boots it will be plenty quick.

Isn’t the real speed problem the embedded Geode and speed of the secondary storage? Not the ram. l could be wrong.

My old web and FTP server was a 1995 HP Pavilion with 96 MB RAM and it ran just fine!
