[[Fedora]] is the underlying operating system on the OLPC XO laptop. This is the Linux distribution (previously called "Fedora Core") developed by Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. |
|||
Because it is the Linux base chosen by the OLPC on which to develop [[Sugar]], it is a reference for any other [[:Category:Linux distributions|Linux distribution]] attempting to run on the XO-1 hardware or present the [[Sugar]] UI on a conventional computer. |
|||
== Fedora versions == |
|||
Old builds including the 406.XX series were based on Fedora Core 6. |
|||
The transition to Fedora 7 happened in 2007 before the [[OLPC Trial-2 Software Release Notes|Trial 2]] milestone (build 542). |
|||
So the operating system in the "ship.1" and "update.1" streams of releases was Fedora 7 , as you can see in the [http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/update.1/latest/devel_jffs2/build.log latest update.1 build log]. |
|||
The [[8.2.0]] release was rebased on Fedora 9. Development efforts took place in the [[OLPC-3|olpc3]] stream but were merged into [[joyride]] as of build joyride-2072. |
|||
[[Distro version migration nastiness]] records some of the changes made to the OLPC version of Fedora 7 that had to be reapplied to Fedora 9, and maybe in future rebasing efforts. |
|||
== Language support == |
|||
[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6ReleaseSummary Fedora Core 6] uses the [[SCIM]] (Smart Common Input Framework) system to support multiple [[IME]]s and [[keyboard layouts]] for multiple [[writing systems]] and [[languages]]. This includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many other languages. |
|||
== Installing Sugar == |
|||
If you have a Fedora distribution running on a computer, you can install the [[Sugar]] environment that runs on the XO laptop. |
|||
*[[Sugar on Fedora]] |
|||
** (earlier) [[Sugar on Fedora Core 6]], [[Sugar on Fedora Core 5]] |
