A computer on a usb stick for less than 25 bucks.

I don't often post news and links on this blog as I try to keep it as related to my work as possible, but I couldn't resist sharing this with the small amount of you guys who are stiff reading this. :)

This guy, David Braben, has built a computer the size of a usb stick which costs even less than a usb stick. Truly amazing. This opens up accessibility to the computing world to people, namely children in 3rd world countries, to the power of the the digital ages. Truly inspiring work. Another reason for posting this is that of course the only sensible thing to run on this baby are Linux and free-BSD distros including Ubuntu and Lubuntu.
