One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) confirmed it will start selling its XO mini-notebook on Amazon.com starting Monday, according to a report. The XO will go on sale Nov. 17 at Amazon in a reprisal of OLPC's "buy one, get, one" program from 2007, says the story.

The Linux version comes with a 7.5-inch 1,200- by 900-pixel LCD screen, a digital video camera, built-in 802.11b/g WiFi, and a customized version of Fedora Core Linux with an education-oriented "Sugar" interface.
