Ask HN: One Child One Laptop

I love the idea of getting laptops to kids in third world countries. But I am not sure about their custom OS, and I am having a hard time finding anything very specific about what they are able to "learn". I want to make sure I am not just falling for some sales pitch. Thoughts?

- thefreeman 14y agoAny idea how 'simplified' it is? ie. Can they browse the internet? Could they run a python script?
