Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment - I find it disturbing that 
most of my peers can't spell and wouldn't know what to do given some paper 
and a fountain pen - I wonder whether this project might have been lauded 
here if the article had said that all the laptops would ship with Debian 
installed...

It's certainly an odd idea though - I'd have thought that kids these days have 
more than sufficient exposure to computers and that schemes offering cheap IT 
training for adults would be money better spent.

Richard.
