Thanks for the info on OLPC in Thailand.

OLPC seems to take Fedora Linux as the official base. But you used Slackware Linux. Why?

Unfortunately, I don't have the older XO 1.0. Before I spend more time (and money), does Thai OLPC image support Thai word processing (input, display and print)?

I don't have enough data yet. But my gust feeling is that Thailand's OLPC is going nowhere and probably gets pushed aside by cheaper iPads (and the like) or small (ARM or ATOM based) notebooks or old laptops with NX/FreeNX (to a local server -- at school?). The solution for computing power for kids in Thailand may depend more heavily on telecommunication and battery cost and availability rather than specific hardware-software-distributor setup. What do you think?
