A spokesperson for the One Laptop Per Child program reported that the countries of Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina and Thailand have each committed to purchase 1 million Linux laptops through the U.S.-based program.

Several media outlets reported that Nigeria had committed to buying 1 million of the laptops, and others reported (incorrectly) that $1 million worth of computers—or about 10,000 machines—had been requested by the African nation.
