More distros running on XO... :
Arch Linux and Crux Linux on OLPC XO-1

Ron, Thanks for the link to set up Xfce! You're welcome ;) There are more detailed instructions on the OLPC wiki ( http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xfce ). If you (in the spirit of Puppy :) )would like something even simpler, and probably even faster, you could try (using the same instructions more or less...

MDD, I think the OLPC software really stinks. ... I also had two spare eeePCs laying around, so I gave the two eldest the choice between the OLPC or the eeePC. The eee won hands down. It wasn't even close. --MDD It easy to switch from Sugar XO interface to something more standard - see my post above...

I'm probably not supposed to blab about what the Intel engineer has told me about the next Classmate. One thing though, is it will have a 9 inch screen One of the obvious uses of a machine of this type is as an eBook reader (or other content for that matter). Unless Classmate PC's screen resolution...

Hi, Can anyone have any idea of where I could find suppliers for the Classmate and OLPC/XO ? Francois. You could easily get OLPC XO from eBay: ( http://search.ebay.com/olpc-xo ) and, till someone puts Puppy on it (and you don't like the default Sugar desktop), switching to something like Xfce is tr...

For those still waiting for Puppy on OLPC, in the meantime the following shows how easy it is to switch (ie without installing another Linux distribution) from default Sugar to a another desktop environment:

A conservative but more professional R&D model... Wi-Fi technology is inherently complex one and there will always be problems in 'real life' depending on a particular scenario - I should know as I rely on wi-fi not just for my home network connections but for the access to the Internet as well...

Since then they've deployed 30 proof of concepts worldwide. Sounds impressive :). However, I'm not sure (and, unlike with OLPC, Intel's project details are not publicly available ) what 'concepts' they're trying to "proof" as most, if not all, of the technology in the Classmate PC is rath...

to prevent another walkover for Intel? I think Intel will have quite a way to catchup - the Classmate is so far behind the XO's design [1] that it's not even funny - just see the coolling vents (just to mention the most obvious thing) on the Classmate and think about the conditions these laptops ar...

Barry,

Hope you can make Puppy work on the XO - that would be fantastic !

Best of luck - from a fellow Sandgroper

Barry,

Maybe this will help:

Dual-boot Ubuntu/SD with Sugar - got it!

How can I use Puppy with my DVD-RAM writer ? They can be bought cheaply (LG model is less than AU$60.-) and although DVD-RAM disks are slower, their main advantage is that, unlike DVD

There're a few SeaMonkey themes available @ ( http://users.imag.net/~crowkeep/mozilla/mozilla.html ) if anyone is interested. I use Breeze (and GNOME-fx on Firefox).

This looks promising. Did you manage to get input method working as well? I think the most popular one is SCIM as the input method platform (for any language) with Anthy used to support Japanese lang:

Yes tried ByzantineOS - in it now in fact, and yes it is very interesting. ByzantineOS took the ideas (and some code) from OEone HomeBase - from the guys who developed Penzilla ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/penzilla/ ) and implemented it as a micro (<50mb) distro. I've played with it for a while ...

I've checked your website - I'm afraid your Tmxxine Linux is far too ambitious for this humble earthling

Go Puppy - Go XUL Hmm... I wonder if anyone tried to create mozilla-only Puppy (Pupzilla http://www.timelord.co.uk/rf/gallery/RF/101-200/135_d41.jpg anyone :? ) - just like in Byzantine OS, no desktop - just Mozilla. I've had an exchange with someone on another forum who was very keen on a bare-bon...

XUL comes... If you find out any interesting links or wish to explore use this thread 8) Lobster, you might want to check out Byzantine OS ( http://byzgl.sourceforge.net/ ) mini distro which already implemented the ideas you're talking about here using XUL quite a while ago (2 years?).
