    Hi all. Anyone know what 'Linux' the Maplin minibook uses? It just says Linux on the blurb so it could, probably is a lite version but which one? Thinking of getting one so I don't have to take my nifty AAone to work as it's just too dam good and I'm sure it'll go walkies one day, the day I forget to take it home! Anyone running limewire on a Maplin minibook or even on an AAone?
    Cheers.
    Obe!

    " proprietary Version of Linux (based on a Linux kernel 2.4.x), with a user friendly interface geared toward children. The Linux desktop is implemented as Kiosk software, meaning that nothing the user can do can modify the available applications, and no new applications can be (easily) added or removed. Still, already a Dutch user has figured out how to add software to the system[3]."
