[Bradford] BBC: £98 PCs target UK digital divide

[Brian]

Same trick as MS tried in Africa. Unfortunately people will probably assume that 
a paid OS is somehow superior to a free OS, when we know, in this case, it is 
the contrary!
Surprises me that they are putting Ubuntu 10.1 on the computers rather than 
10.04 LTS.
