Testing with images

OLPC did release OLPC OS 13.2.5 with Sugar 0.106. Please see the release notes for 13.2.5.

We have older Sugar Labs images with Sugar 0.105.1. These are "clean" images, with no customization. These images are NOT signed by OLPC, therefore you need an unlocked XO for installing these images.
