In this article, the so-called "sweep" means full coverage. We asked, What is the inspiration for such a small computer?

In March 26, IBM, Canonical (UK), and Simmtronics (India) jointly announced the first release of Intel processor (Atom)-based connection to IBM cloud computing (center) in emerging markets in mainland Africa) ubuntu small computer (SimmBook, or 10.1 inch Ubuntu netbook, the operating system is Ubuntu Remix 10.04), and the price is only USD 190 (!). If you estimate the system software cost by referring to the agent (per seat), the Ubuntu small computer solution will save 50% of the cost compared with Microsoft's solution.

The public can enjoy the security, benefits, and Joy brought by the informatization of the whole society. In contrast to the current situation in our country (for example, Zhongguancun, Beijing), the situation is worrying.
