Idiot. Do you even know what software they intend to bundle? I
didn't think so. Oh, BTW, the softwar they want is already included
in Red hat Linux.


And Red Hat Linux will fit on 1 GB of "disk" space?


This RH distro will. 

So how do you know what software they will want and if that will be
included?



I read. try it.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$100_laptop#Software> Software

"All of the software on the $100 Laptop will be open-source. The projected
software as of November 2005 is:

   * Red Hat Linux variant as operating system * A web browser
   * A word processor
   * An email program
   * A programming system"

"Software will include a word processor, a Web browser, an email program
and a programming system."



Wow. 4 apps.

So how do you know that this is all or in fact any of the software they
will want? In case you forgot, the question was about educational apps.

This is a computer for the third world, are they even going to have
access to the internet?
Some will, some won't. This will encourage a push for internet connections in third world countries.
