World s first OLPC mass deployment uses Debian as its backend server
IBM won Ceibals server bid, providing x3105-series tower servers. These are dual-core 1.8GHz Opteron 1210 machines with 2GB RAM and two 160GB SATA drives. Much to my joy, they are running Debian 4.0 etch, and providing DHCP, Dansguardian-filtered web access, and various monitoring services.

The OLPC deployment here is being run as part of Proyecto Ceibal (Ceibo is the national flower of Uruguay), a presidential initiative to equip each child with a laptop. The Ceibal offices are housed in a Montevideo complex called LATU, or Laboratorio Tecnológico del Uruguay, which is a public/private sector cooperative technical lab now responsible for much of Uruguays technical certification and quality control programs, as well as serving an incubator role for various engineering and technical projects.
