Sugar 0.88 en Fedora 11 para el XO-1
F11-XO1-0.88 es una distribucion con Sugar 0.88 para el XO-1 desarrollada en conjunto por Sugar Labs, Paraguay Educa y Activity Central, en colaboracion con Plan Ceibal y miembros de la comunidad OLPC/Sugar.
Este ciclo de desarrollo durara solo 2.5 meses por que estamos apuntando al descanso de invierno en August 2010 for mass deployment in Paraguay. While there won't be time for new development, we'll try to merge a few relatively safe post-0.88 features contributed by other deployments and individuals.
Test builds
Flash images for the XO-1 can be obtained here: http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-0.88/
For unlocked laptops, you just need to download two files:
- osNNNpy.img
- osNNNpy.crc
Follow these installation instructions to flash your XO-1 with these images.

Using this build outside Paraguay
A few customizations make this image somewhat Paraguay-specific:
- Limited language support: to save space, we've included only English and Spanish translations.
- Image signed with the Paraguay deployment keys. Laptops from other regions need to be be unlocked in order to accept this image.
- The software update control panel icon checks for new activities on our wiki rather than on laptop.org.
- The Browse home page contains the Paraguay Educa logo and a few links to our website.
We may find the time to release slightly modified images to meet the needs of other OLPC deployments interested in upgrading to Sugar 0.88.
More importantly, we're happy to help other deployments produce their own OS images independently of us, thus exploiting the Freedom #1 offered by Free Software.
