This has absolutely nothing to do with Dell.
Redhat pretty much payed $2mill to be part of this project, so thats why apple got turned down.

i thought the project was started by dell, aren't they the ones putting the laptop together?

Open Source will make people smarter because they have to work more to learn how to use it.

Nope, read the article.
Its AMD Redhat and some others, no Dell.

oh, oh well, thats still cool they turned them down, i like how they're using opensource products

Apple wasn't rejected based on the merits of their OS, so I don't see this as a smack down for Jobs.

My only question is, will I be able to buy said hundred dollar laptop? I've got two children, I should be able to buy two.

I think it said somewhere that a commercial version will be available for around $200 at the release.
