This is [[Harmonic_Distribution/Deployment|one of the possible]] reference implementations of [[Harmonic Distribution]] based solutions. The goal is creating a Sugar based downstream distribution to run on OLPC XO laptops by end-users. The created reference implementation is intended to be a template for final deployment distributions.

:[[Harmonic Distribution]] based solutions are based on [[Sugar Network]], which makes all Sugar Activities accessible from a local school server or an Internet located one. Nonetheless, it is useful to have some first-time activities already included with the image.

Post installation support is all about updating packages in the [[#Deployment_repository|deployment repository]], e.g., update the configuration in the [[#Deployment_package|deployment package]]. Then, using one of the [[Harmonic_Distribution/Deployment#Scenarios|deployment scenarios]], distribute the package updates among users.

To try a reference implementation on an XO laptop, download one of the prebuilt images and proceed with the  instructions below to flash it. Note that images were built using a recent development version of the software. So, images might be used to easily test recent changes.

Reference XO images might not be up-to-date (since there are not intended to be used as-is by deployments), so, run full system update right after flashing to make sure that system is recent:
sudo yum update
