Red Hat Commits to MIT’s USD100 Laptop

Fedora Core, a popular flavor of Linux being developed by the open-source community, is hardly hefty by today’s operating system standards. But to fit the tight specs for the $100 laptop being designed by MIT’s One-Lap-Per-Child group, Fedora will need to go on a crash diet, concedes its overseer, Red Hat. The Linux software maker confirmed today that it has donated $2 million [EUR 1.65 million] to the OLPC and joined as a corporate member and said it plans to put some of its brightest engineers to the task of slimming down Fedora before the laptops debut in early 2007.
