Here is the story, straight from an Intel Press release issued today:
Brasil President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, received symbolically the first Classmate PC from Intel from the hands of his special advisor, César Alvarez. The educational platform was delivered to Alvarez by the President of Intel do Brasil, Oscar Clarke in a meeting held in Brasilia. The equipment is a part of a lot of 30 units that were delivered to the Brasilian Ministry of Education (MEC), with the purpose of being evaluated by specialized technicians from the Government, SERPRO, Research Centers and Universities. As a component of Intel's support for the Federal Government Project “Um Computador por Aluno – UCA”, Intel will donate 800 units to be delivered in April. The educational notebooks will be tested in two public schools in the cities of Piraí (RJ) e Palmas (TO).
the Linux-based Sugar OS from the One Laptop Per Child project is now available via a bootable LiveCD ISO, and according to user reports, works quite well aside from the "lack of WiFi capability" on a certain MacBook. But hey, why are you relying on us to tell you how it works out? Go on and tag the read link whilst grabbing a fresh cup of joe, and do report back with ample amounts of praise (or grouses) once you've checked things out.
