If you’re considering making the switch from shared hosting to dedicated hosting — if your online business or development needs are such that you want to take things to the next level — you need to take the time to consider just what kind of OS your new dedicated hosting platform should have.
The XO is the laptop designed by One Laptop Per Child to be distributed to children around the world to “explore, experiment, and express themselves.” The XO currently sells for $200 and starting this fall, they will be rerunning their G1G1 promotion, where if you spend $400 and buy two, one is sent to you, and one is sent to the kids.
Concept designs have recently been released for the XO-2: the price point will hopefully be about $188, and instead of the traditional look of the laptop, they are looking at one touch-sensitive display with a fold in the middle. It’s really getting exciting.
Recently Microsoft paired up with OLPC to offer XP on the XOs instead/in addition to the Linux distro “Sugar”…and they’re getting some mixed feedback. What do you think?
