Give One Get One laptop for software development

[Jeffrey Kesselman]

Eic looks really nice.  I tooka  first stab at installing it but (a)
it has a LOt of dependancies that take up a lto of room and 9b) one of
the dependnacies, QScintilla, doesn't seem to be available as a binary
and I gacve up at that point.

I might look at idle to see if its as bad...
