It is most likely possible to use a console program or adapt a current
linux program to do the job. Ideally level star would build these
features into the OS as either apps or plugins. The other thing we
need is a flash player for the web browser and an IM client. The great
thing about these machines is there are so many possibilities. It
would be nice to have a community like the one for Ubuntu. It could be
hosted by levelstar and programs and users could work together on
third party apps.
