I can't WAIT to get my OLPC in!

Will it be in by the Hunt? I'm curious to see it too.

I'm still waiting for mine. Based on emails I've been getting, it should be here within 10 days (I ordered around 24-48 hours after it was possible to do so, not sure about you , kelsin). I might bring it, just for the ultra-portable factor. Hopefully, I'll have some time to learn how to work in its environment. It'll be a learning experience for me.

The piece of information that surprised me most in the video, I think, was the MySpace being 8th largest. Oy.

Not sure about you, but kelsin will have linux installed on it within 24-48 hours.

[kelsin.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Mine is set for a 24th to 31st of December delivery.

Am I right on the other comment above, to Ken? ;)

It is built on linux to being with :)

Yeah I think that's right with the dates. I did mine on Nov 15th so I'm in their second group of estimated dates meaning 24-31st for me :-(

Isn't it super limited coming out of the box though? I didn't think that it's built so that you could easily install other programs or whatever.

[kelsin.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't use the word limited :) It has a completely customized gui installed by default, but still built on a fedora base. From what I've read it's very easy to do one of two things:

1) Install another version on linux on the free space and use that whenever you want instead of the Sugar interface (You can bounce back and forth with a reboot)

2) Install other software on the base install.

I don't know a lot about specifics. I'm sure A LOT of people will start posting how to's and stuff once people start getting theirs :)
