Not to be exact. The exactly objective is to make OLPC to provide wide 
variety of works and not to be a toy as s/o accused it.

I already made OLPC to support all kind of works already before the BIOS 
was changed.

The only unsolve problem is to make OLPC to run huge .swf say 338 MB RAM.

To make it to be capable to do so, I have to develop it under my favorite 
dist namely slackware. I use slackware since 1991.
