One Laptop Per Child Alternative Linux OS

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for

“Now, we do have Fedora 10 SD Cards for the XO which we
provide at the request of the Fedora Project and OLPC, however they
take a while to boot. It is also quite slow due to the limitations
of the XO, and the system can become unresponsive if you exhaust
the physical memory. I personally had the F10 SD Card on my XO for
a period of time, but eventually preferred to go without as opposed
to waiting for it to boot and being careful to only open one
application at a time.

“Karlie on the other hand has far less patience with her
computers, so the Fedora 10 SD Card just wasn’t a viable option. I
had seen some other operating system alternatives for the XO, but
they were either as stressing as the Fedora option, or were quite
incomplete.”
