One Laptop Per Child
One Laptop Per Child is an organization founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a non-profit organization. From 2004 to 2014 it made cheap laptops so that children in less rich countries without as much technology can also use a computer to learn. Their XO laptop had an operating system called sugar based on GNU/Linux. It also ran Windows.[1]
