Idea to LinuxIOS

[John R.]

The OLPC ship has already sailed on this. 2.6 is the choice, has
momentum, etc. Similarly for distro... already chosen.

2.4 vs. 2.6 It is an interesting question generally though. Tiny Linux
distros like Damn Small Linux that target underpowered machines choose
to stay with a 2.4 kernel. Does anyone have specifics on why that is?
It's interesting to discuss probably not as an alternative kernel for
OLPC, but more in terms of what impact the choice of 2.6 will have on
OLPC, and how we can mitigate.
