= Alternative Environment for XO = |
|||
== Goals == |
|||
The goal of this project is to create a alternate environment for the XO based on Fedora, giving the users a "traditional linux desktop" instead of or in addition to the Sugar environment (which we'll also include if we can make it all fit). But it won't be as small as the OLPC distro, and is intended at a different audience than the kids in schools. Productive use of this environment SD or USB sticks will be quite desirable. |

See Greg DeKoenigsberg's blog post for further details: http://gregdek.livejournal.com/34038.html |

== Ideas == |
|||
=== Roadmap === |
|||
This spin will be based on the Fedora Education Spin, but we are going to heavily modify it to fit the needs of OLPC. |
|||
The next steps will be: |
|||
* selecting packages |
|||
* creation of a kickstart file |
|||
* trying to get the spin boot on a XO |
|||
