Regular Linux desktops on the XO
,----[ Quoye ]
| Me and Bobby Powers have spent a few hours smoothing out the process of
| getting fully-featured Linux desktops to boot on the XO laptop. On the whole,
| OLPC developers have been pretty good at getting code upstream, so only a few
| fixups are needed to get things operational on the XO.

Falling in Love with the XO All Over Again
,----[ Quote ]
| The social aspects of Sugar are what make the XO so fun and so compelling.
| You just don’t experience it with a few XO’s in one place. David Cavallo is
| right when he says that the key to OLPC is saturation and integrating it into
| the fabric of education.

Continued Impressions of Ubuntu 7.10 on the EeePC
,----[ Quote ]
| Someone asked me today how Ubuntu was working on the EeePC. It’s working
| great! I thought I might share some of my experiences so far, after a bit
| more use. If you are interested in installing Ubuntu 7.10 on your EeePC head
| on over to the Ubuntu Community Wiki and find out how!

[OLPC XO] Original UI , Unique Operation [Part 2]
,----[ Quote ]
| In fact, the Sugar does not have a concept of files. As the PC is based on
| Linux, data are virtually located in files, of course. Nevertheless, the
| Sugar is basically designed to store every operation result as a "Journal."
|
| In addition, we need to download screen data to edit such an article. The
| Sugar automatically downloads the whole screen if both Alt and "1" keys are
| pressed. The XO also automatically recognizes a USB memory device if it is
| inserted. Using these capabilities, we took out and used screen data for
| article editing.

First Look: OLPC's XO Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Again, to compare the OLPC to today's notebook is missing the point of the
| XO. It's intended as a sturdy, self-contained introduction to technology (and
| to the Web) for children in developing nations. They haven't played with
| Nintendo Wiis or an Apple Macintosh, much less a Windows or Linux system.
| Without the OLPC effort, they may not have a laptop at all--and this one at
| least provides a durable start.

| For a regular laptop, this would be the paragraph about its problems, its
| deficiencies. But the thing is, there aren’t any problems with this computer!
| Congratulations, OLPC. You’ve done it. Or will you come out with yet better
| laptops? Is that even possible? We’ll have to see...
