One Laptop per Child

The Fedora OLPC Project aims to assist Red Hat and the non-profit OLPC Project in putting inexpensive laptop computers in the hands of children throughout the world. These laptops are simple hardware that is meant to provide valuable learning tools to children, even in developing nations where such technology might otherwise be unavailable to them.
