    Vivement qu’il existe avec une autre coque que celle de ce manchot ! Etant utilisateur de système GNU/Linux depuis 10 ans je n’en fais pas pour autant une obsession monomaniaque sur sa mascotte !

    … mais l’idée d’un petit robot domestique, reprogrammable et peu onéreux est très séduisante !

    Est-ce que 100% de son code est GPL ?

    oui !

    ce tux est génial et a été concu complètement dans une logique open source.

    Moi, mon seul problème c’est que j’utilise linux depuis 2 jour et que j’ai du mal !

    Je l’ai surtout acheté car on peut reprogrammer l’ensembles des microprocesseurs qu’il contient ! ( c’est carrément un kit de développement ! et pour ce prix c’est vraiment pas chère !!! )
