The XO laptop (of the One-Laptop-Per-Child initiative) is an inexpensive
laptop project intended to help educate children around the world. The laptop
includes many innovations, such as a novel, inexpensive, and durable hardware design
and the use of GNU/Linux as the underlying operating system. The XO also includes an
