Well not for general computing, but I find it to be a nice PDF reader with its nifty screen. ;-)  While I like the reader in Sugar, I want to see how well the other FOSS readers work on the platform.  If I get some time, I might take your suggestion to simply yum install a light-weight desktop.<div>

they first got it. “Sugar” runs on top of Fedora, so there’s no real reason to
re-install unless you want Debian or Ubuntu. I’m too lazy to find instructions
on how to get it to boot into XFCE instead of Sugar. I seem to remember you
could basically “yum install“ your way to a full desktop. <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_components" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_components</a></span></font></p>

adults-- it really is designed for children. Sugar has lots of awesome stuff
for creativity and learning, but it’s not designed to let typical users do work.
On the hardware end, the keyboard is child sized, the CPU is too slow to run a typical
Linux desktop well, and there’s no support for hibernating to disk.</span></font></p>

<br>
  I haven&#39;t looked into getting full Linux onto my XO yet, but I want to
get more use out of it.  If you do get a distro onto yours, could you post
an outline of your process?  <br>
<br>
  On a separate note, did you have keyboard trouble with yours?  Mine
suffered the notorious &quot;sticking ctrl key&quot; issue, so I had to disable
the built-in keyboard.  :-/.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

ones seem to be DebXO and teapot&#39;s ubuntu build.<br>
Has anyone played with either of these?<br>

Take care,<br>
