Scott Johnson of GNUveau Networks has developed a solar-powered
Internet "hub" system (running Ubuntu GNU/Linux) that he builds to
order in his Daytona Beach, Florida, home. His objective is to bring
computers and the Internet to places that have no connectivity, no
phone service, and no electricity. This is no pipe dream. There are
real SolarNetOne installations running in Africa right now, providing
wireless connectivity and "Internet Cafe" access to hundreds of
people. The system uses off-the-shelf hardware that Scott modifies to
run on 12V -- and to use a lot less power than the stock versions. As
Scott says, in solar-powered computer installations, "The Watt is
king."

Theres quite a mention of OLPC there...

kind regards,
