An interesting item on the BBC today
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27346567 about an operating
system and home folder on a usb stick intended for use on any old
third world computer, presumably with a usb port. The thing that
struck me was that the item says that the op system is based on Google
Android. Why would you want all that cruft for a computer with no
touch screen and other bells and whistles?
But on another web site it says that the op system is based on linux
with added apps. Is this a case of 'Mustn't use the word linux or
we'll frighten people off' syndrome? Or just ignorant reporting? I
think we should be told....

Whatever the OS it seemed a little expensive 8G flash should be a couple
of quid in bulk and the install shouldn't be more than pence - even for
someone at home with a laptop!
