Introduction
Because the OLPC has limited storage and limited RAM, it is not a good idea to support every data format used on regular PCs. It makes more sense to use our PCs to convert data than to put that burden on the OLPC.
List of supported formats
- General formats
- Compression formats
- Uncompressed (this is listed because the JFFS2 filesystem on the OLPC will compress all compressable files)
- GNU Zip (supported by Python's zlib module)
