[CS-FSLUG] XO laptop

[Ron Thompson]

   What had come to mind was that many of these laptops will reach Christian 
youth in developing countries.  This may be an opportunity to provide them 
with Christian based material, including Sunday school study material.

   Is the Christian Linux community working on software and e-books that will 
work on the XO laptop?

    Has anyone on the list participated in the "give one get one" offer?
