nice wikipedia quote couldn't even source it from the jargon file

wheel: n.

[from slang �big wheel� for a powerful person] A person who has an active wheel bit. �We need to find a wheel to unwedge the hung tape drives.� (See wedged, sense 1.) The traditional name of security group zero in BSD (to which the major system-internal users like root belong) is �wheel�. Some vendors have expanded on this usage, modifying Unix so that only members of group �wheel� can go root.

The target market is Guatemala and Rio de Janeiro, so these are computers they'll have to save up for a bit.

The Intel, bamboo machine ("mission") is a Bay Trail machine with Intel graphics (it's actually just a case around Gigabyte's BRIX machine). Bay Trail has on board video decoding, and we hooked it up to GStreamer/V4L.

Guatemala and Rio are developing countries, not third world countries. They already have running water, clothes, TV, and sometimes internet.
