Ubuntu

It is Recommended to look at Trisquel for another solution

Trisquel is Ubuntu based and works well. (Trisquel 4 and 4.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Trisquel 4.5, on Ubuntu 10.10.)

Works fine if you drag-drop surf-115.xo to journal from 2nd usb.

You then can install the applications you need from ASLO: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/

• Works fine. Tested on a new install 07/31/2011

suggestion choose "Ubuntu classic" from gdm log-in switcher. (This gives Classic Gnome Desktop)

Tested on an ACER ASPIRE ONE N450 10" Netbook

Everything works on all of these options, including wireless.
