Isn't the elonex one partly aimed at education,  its a shame that if its
as bad as you say it is,  then it will give a bad impression of Linux to
the very people who would benefit the most,  todays youngsters who could
do with the one computer per child idea being a reality.

if it can't run flash it makes it pretty useless for education given
that a lot of sites are flash driven,
