| When OLPC starts their next Give 1 Get 1 program, there will be an option to purchase an upgrade that will allow users to run a standard Linux desktop, based on Fedora 10, on their XO system.
| | Efforts to make Fedora run well on OLPC XO hardware. |
|
| |
|
| In order to make sure that this works properly, we need testers. And we are willing to swap testing time for (almost) free XOs.
| | == TODO == |

|
| Sound like fun? Want to participate? Here's what you do.

| | * [[OLPC/Packages_for_F11]] |
|
| |
|
| 1. Add your name and contact info to the list below.
| | == Fedora 11 rawhide builds == |
| | A "spin" of Fedora rawhide (the development version of Fedora 11 Linux) incorporating recent Linux software packages, the Sugar desktop UI and a more conventional Gnome desktop, for the XO-1. |
|
| |
|
| 2. Purchase a Sandisk Extreme III SD card, in either [http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1973)-SDSDX3-2048-SanDisk_Extreme_III_SD_2GB.aspx 2 Gig] or [http://www.sandisk.com/Products/ProductInfo.aspx?ID=2348 4 Gig] capacity. (This is where the "mostly" free part comes in.)

|
| |
|
| 3. Install Fedora on said SD card. We will tell you how later.
| | == Sugar on a Stick == |
| | http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick is a project to create a "live" bootable image that presents the Sugar UI of the OLPC on top of Fedora. It's designed to run off a USB flash drive and boot on most x86 PCs. There are instructions on how to boot it on an XO-1. |
|
| |
|
| 4. Agree that you will spend at least 20 hours between now and late October testing Fedora on your XO, reporting your findings back to us in ways that we will make clear later.
| | == Testing Fedora 10 on XO == |
|
| |
|
| 5. Receive your (mostly) free XO. :)
| | For the 2008 OLPC Give 1 Get 1 program, there was an option to purchase an upgrade that will allow users to run a standard Linux desktop, based on Fedora 10, on their XO system. |
|
| |
|
| That's it. You need to be moderately Linux-savvy -- know how to bring up a terminal, for instance -- but beyond that, you mostly need to be willing to put in the testing time and able to follow simple directions.
| | In order to make sure that this works properly, we need testers. If you have an XO, please help. |

| | Please see the [[QA/TestPlans/Fedora10_On_XO|Master Test Plan]] for Fedora 10 on XO. |
