PCF has an XO-1. I played with it when 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. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_components Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it for 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. _____ From: wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Adam Keck Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 8:22 AM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] Linux on the XO-1 Hi James, I haven'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? On a separate note, did you have keyboard trouble with yours? Mine suffered the notorious "sticking ctrl key" issue, so I had to disable the built-in keyboard. :-/.

The two popular ones seem to be DebXO and teapot's ubuntu build. Has anyone played with either of these?
