You're correct; it is a 500MHz AMD Geode. But the OLPC laptop will not be made available for sale to anyone except national governments. Also, the laptop has a pretty small screen, even compared to low-end modern laptops.
This Epatec box appears to be more geared toward the LTSP-type crowd than anything else. I've been using LTSP for several years, with old Pentium-133's as the terminal (they work *great* in this capacity, BTW). Epatec's unit, paired with a nice 19" LCD screen, would be even better in such an environment and would avoid sucking up a bunch of power, while taking up much less desk space. Purchase price would be about US $400 per station.
