I'll have a Moka5, with one lump of sugar

Virtualization is on the rise. Heck, I have clients with complete production environments all virtualized.
It's all very cool, but if you want graphics, forget it. As I don't have a Mac, my solutions are VMWare or Virtual PC or QEmu (I still have to try VMGL).
Enter Moka5. It is a virtualization engine based on VMWare. It promises DirectX and OS X emulation. And it runs on a USB stick...
Looks promising on paper, but because I have VMWare Server installed on my laptop, it cannot start LivePCs...

Let's see if I can get it to work at home.

OLPC

It's been a long time since I blogged. Time is short...

Well, let's talk about laptops. More exactly, about the One Laptop Per Children project. If you don't know about it, go read the site.

I'll wait.




Finished reading? Let's continue...

The project is not about a laptop, but a complete learning environment. And it has a dedicated linux distro. Here is a way to run the OLPC in your computer right now. Just download the Vmware image and you are ready to go.

A note of warning: it is slow. Very slow! And a little useless, unless you like to play with Etch A Sketch...

Of course, as a geek, I'd like to have one of these babies... the hardware, not the software...

Will it be a contender to the Asus EEE?

PS: you can find more about the OLPC in this wiki.
