Red Hat's OLPC lead has written an update on the OLPC project on his weblog. "I wrote up a long update on where we are in the software and hardware for the One Laptop per Child project. We've gotten a lot done, but I don't think that's been communicated to the outside world very well. So, for the first time, here's an update of where we are."

yeah, I get that (as you might see if my comment gets by). I said using RH as a base. As in I have a P166 here w/ 16 or 32MB RAM (not sure which) that I'm about to try Deli on. No USB 2, only small HDDs supported (3GB installed), crap video (as in no driver in modern Xorg), and it's as heavy as any new laptop. I'm going to try Deli on it, which would probably also be a great OS for the OLPC machine, which should, in all but raw CPU power, beat this thing significantly.
They have no real choice, because RH and Novell are basically it. With luck, we will have choice soon after the product is released, and other (subjectively superior) distros will get in support.
