Another interesting computer being proposed and built in India …
I really like this one for a couple of reasons:
1. This is being developed in India! I am a huge fan of India, and the potential of this country to evolve into a dominant world force.
2. This is running Linux … not a crippled partial operating system, but a full blown PC operating system.
