== The deployments' XO Operating System ==
 
Dextrose is a Sugar distribution for XO laptops jointly developed by Activity Central, [http://paraguayeduca.org/ Paraguay Educa], [http://www.ceibal.edu.uy/ Plan Ceibal] in collaboration with OLPC and the Sugar community.
 
Our focus is stability and usability in the classroom, but we've also merged
